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.
PowerArchiver 2007 and Blue Screens
-
Hey there, i’m new here, but i’m posting because i just downloaded the trial version of powerarchiver 2007. Problem now is that my computer is acting really strangely.
Everytime i run powerarchiver 2007, my computer goes into a Blue Screen of Death, and my whole system resets. I’ve tried running it in Safe Mode however, and it works.
My guess now is that perhaps there is a conflict with my other software running at the time… But i only have my firewall, ZoneAlarm Pro and my anti-virus, BitDefender v10 running. Apart from those i can’t see anything else that might be causing this. Any insight?
I’ve tried reinstalling over 5 times but i can’t get it working, so i have to stick to 2006 for the moment :( the gui for 2007 looks sweet though >.>
EDIT: Well, i’ve tried powerarchiver 2007 on my other laptop, and seems like the same thing is happenning. My guess would be that there is some software incompatibility since that laptop also runs similar software…
-
same thing only my computer is set to restart just before a blue screen accurs and thus havent found a way to solve it…
-
please email us via support form above, we are trying to find out what is the cause of the issue. We got 5-6 reports so far.
It doesnt seem to be the issue with external software so far, but email us and so we can get more info.
thank you
-
I’ve sent my error report in. I’m quite stunned though, what else could be causing the error if not for 3rd party programs.
Considering other users might have gotten it to work on their systems, i think its safe to say its a conflicting software issue.
I’m running XP Service Pack 2 Professional btw. I’m pretty sure that no one else atm runs XP SP1, and that if XP has issues with it, so would Vista, considering its a mess at the moment

It is never that simple. We are trying to get several reports together to make sense of it and narrow down possible cause, so help is greatly appreciated.
I wish someone has reported it before final version though, we had several hundred thousands downloads of beta versions and nobody reported anything similar, althought it should have happened at that point. People always assume it will get fixed, somehow :D
-
yeah, i was fairly shocked that a final release would be one with such a major bug. Oh well, I trust in the PA staff to get it fixed anyway :) you guys are an awesome bunch.
EDIT: I was keeping myself in contact with the support staff of PA, and they did some debugging with me. Managed to churn out an exe which doesn’t crash my system, so i guess you guys can expect an updated release coming out soon :D

Download latest version (english only) via website or via web update and see if this issue has been fixed.
thanks,
