    • Need to find out how to disable "all users" to end UAC elevation prompt on running PA

      Q

      I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.

      PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      There would be many of us with Intel Processors.

      and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.

      Reference:
      https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdf

      Can we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?

      Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

      I have tried to burn a DVD with PowerArchiver 2022 Final, but it didn’t work because PA didn’t found the external DVD-Burner.
      I have tried several burners from Sony, LG, Dell.
      I have connected the burners with several USB-Ports but unfortunately without any success.
      With other burning software, e. g. Nero, all burner worked perfect on each USB-Port.

      Quando creo un archivio zip con un altro programma ad esempio Winrar se apro il file con Winrar vi sono visualizzati anche le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      Se ottimizzo quel file zip con la funzione Ottimizza archivio di PowerArchivier (o creo un nuovo archivio) il file risultate non ha più le date originali di Accesso e Creazione.
      C’è una opzione per preservare questi dati? (Non l’ho trovata nelle impostazioni del programma e ho già abilitato le opzioni “salva info complete cartella” presente in “Profili di compressione”)
      /
      When I create a ZIP archive with another program such as Winrar, if I open the file with Winrar, the original Access and Creation dates are also displayed.
      If I optimize that zipper file with the Optimize Archive function of PowerArchivier (or create a new archive) the resulting file no longer has the original Access and Creation dates.
      Is there an option to preserve this data? (I haven’t found it in the program settings and I have already enabled the “save complete folder info” options in “Compression Profiles”)

      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?

                    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?

                                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.

                                            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.

                                                    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. :)
