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.
PA2007 - RC1 install over Beta 10 in Vista
-
I installed RC1 over beta 10 and it asked to shut down “explorer.exe”. When explorer came back after install I lost some tray icons (a la explorer.exe crashing in the Windows 95 days).
I then tried a clean install without incident.
Did this happen to anyone else?
-
installer actually closed Explorer?
-
A dialog came up saying explorer.exe must be closed to continue the installation. I accepted it and am not sure what would happen if I didn’t.
-
Odd!,
After the last update I made sure I uninstalled beta 10 before the RC1 install. I also cleared my registy of all related PA items.
Usually when installing an application that requests Internet Explorer to be closed means that it is currently trying to obtain data from IE or port 80.
Maybe PA was trying to look for an update during your install? a one off issue possibly.

no, it is explorer.exe, not iexplore.exe.
It is due to shell extensions being loaded. In fact, since it is using Vista’s restart manager, you would think it wouldnt want to “close” explorer :-).
-
what version of Vista do you have?
-
Vista Home Premium 32 bit OEM. NOD32 is also installed.
-
@Lord:

ok, so you can check the other option (restart) which will replace dll only after you reboot.
PowerArchiver’s MSI setup is using Restart Manager, which is an Vista component that presents you with the options for the restart, so I guess thats how Microsoft wants restarts handled.
-
ok - I think the upshot is only select the close explorer.exe option if you trust Vista to properly re-load explorer.exe. My experience was not encouraging.

i really dont understand why they made it so - i guess they thought it was an feature? (so you dont have to restart your computer?). Pretty weird…
-
Just a thought not an opinion - it might be better to not use the restart manager and simply request a restart at the end (like XP). Unsophisticated users may find the explorer.exe closing/restarting behavior disruptive and blame (unfairly) PA.

it is not an option, we have to use it for Vista certification… I think it will make sense for normal users who wont notice anything wrong, it is us that will…
