For example:
Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.
Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9

PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
How does PA 07 work on Vista?
-
Does PA disable Vista’s built in zip support? Any possible conflicts? On XP, I unregistered XP’s zip dll file but I wasn’t sure about Vista. Thanks in advance!
-
should work perfectly fine. PA doesnt disable Vista’s built in support, there is no need for that, it just associates itself with zip archives.
-
Glad to hear it :)
The only reason I disabled it in XP is because of the way XP handled zipfiles. If you had a ton of zips in a directory, it would slow the scrolling way down.
Any ETA on a Final?
-
If I right-click on the sample zipfile in the PA directory (TUTOR1.zip) to extract it in the same directory nothing happens.
-
Denzilla, Funny enough I was going to ask the same question…
PA How far are we from the final?

is that an bug report? :-)
-
Hmmm, we are in Tech Support and a feature is not working as it should - so you can call it a bug report. ;)

we are in “How does PA 07 work on Vista” thread :-). So, you should start an different thread for bug report.
But I think your issue is probably with having to restart your computer after installation - have you done so?
thanks,
-
I just installed B8 and now something happens. :)
A error message is shown:
–-------------------------
PowerArchiverError creating destination file “”. Check that file is not in use.
OK
-
screenshot please…
-
Here you are
-
oh, welcome to Windows Vista… you can create files in C:\program files\
-
we will check for better error message, thanks for reminding me about that
-
What version of Vista are you using?
What it does is sends the file to another folder which is somewhere in your Users folder… I need to check better for that…
-
You can create files in C:\Program Files but you have to deal with UAC. There are other compression programs around which support UAC already. So it should be possible for PA too. :)
I’m using the final RTM build.
-
We need to check on that since I have not found anything 2 months ago when looking for it….
-
p.s. it should work if you set PA to be started as running under admin, by right clicking on pa.exe… Try if that works?
thanks
-
You see, if people dont complain, we will not find out about things that we need fixing, so COMPLAIN!!!
-

Yes, it works if I set pa.exe to start everytime with admin rights. But now PA requests admin rights on every start. That is not the intention of UAC. PA should only request admin rights if there is a need for.

yep… except that UAC doesnt allow for runtime elevation of rights, so you end up with having to redesign how you do everything because of it…
If we could do it at run time, change process rights, while showing an notification window, then it would be easy.

Try to copy a file with Explorer to the program files dir. Explorer requests elevation and the operation continues.

No. Open the task manager and you will see, that no additional explorer.exe is launching…

you can elevate com objects, you cant elevate process… You can check it out on MSDN if you wish.
This is done so virus or spyware cant elevate itself half an hour after you clicked on it, and then show you false name in the prompt…
-
p.s. we can do that too anyway, it is just not an 5 minute job of elevating the process, rather you have to rewrite how application creates and extracts files (do it outside main PA process).

Cool, than you have to work with elevated COM objects. :)
