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 creates @LongLink in Archives ?
-
Hi,
everytime i want to unpack a Backup Archiv of my Website (including Mambo CMS or PostNuke) with PowerArchive i get a error.
Example :
If there is a Link in the Archive that is very long PowerArchiver can´t handel and unpack the whole Archive. He stops and creats a File named @LongLink.
If i open it with a Editor i see in it
./postnuke/pnTemp/pnRender_compiled/Xanthia^SeaBreeze^eng^%%52^52C^52C3DF3D%%xanthiaadminmenu.htm.php
as Example.
How can that be ? With WinRAR it isn´t a Problem.
It can´t be a Problem of my Backuparchiv. It also happens with the original Archives like PostNuke-0.750.zip or the one from Mambo CMS.
-
PowerArchiver does not support TAR archives with longlinks, which is what does not work. Basically, @longlink is used to make TAR files with filename+pathname bigger than 100 characters.
We will introduce this in one of the future revisions of PowerArchiver, I hope.
regards,

This Error does not only appera at *.tar Archives. It apperas at *.zip and *.rar Archives too.
So i have to use WinRAR for such Archives ?? That has to be a Joke ! :(
-
I dont know what exactly are you reffering to, but longlinks only exist in TAR archives, they do not exist in RAR or ZIP archives. PowerArchiver will work perfectly fine with both zip and rar archives…

I just downloaded PostNuke Phoenix 0.750 Gold (.zip) from
http://downloads.postnuke.com/pafiledb.php?action=category&id=45This was unzipped by PA 9.02.01 with no errors on Win98.
-
Again - ZIP does not make @LongLink files, only certain TAR utilities make them for the purpose of extending TAR path+filename lenght above 100 characters. Those files are actually included in the TAR file, so they exist there. PA currently does not support them and hence it does not read them (again in TAR files only).
Only reason for them existing in ZIP file would be that someone converted TAR file or compressed them as well as rest of the files…
-
My only question is : When will it support them ? All others do it (winzip, winrar etc.) … it´s so frustrating.
-
Hello ?
I payed Money for this Software - can the Support answer please ??
Every OpenSource Archiver can handle this and i didn´t see why the one i buyed can´t .
Hope my english isn´t to bad. If so - is anyone here that can speak german ?

We already said it will be done in one of the future revisions - and also that it only happens with TAR archives, not zip archives.
You english is just fine… Hopefully we will be able to include it in 9.2 release!
-
Thank you for your Answer. :D
This sounds better :Hopefully we will be able to include it in 9.2 release!
as before :
We will introduce this in one of the future revisions of PowerArchiver, I hope.
;)
-
Well, it is pretty much the only “big” problem with PowerArchiver and is out of our hands so we will put it back into our hands and solve it - but it takes time…
thanks,
-
Yeah but only for understanding - can you describe me in simple Words why the free TUGZip and ZipGenius can handle it ?

Because they use different TAR components that we dont use?
-
Any updates on a fix for this problem yet?
-
Yes, as we already announced few times ago, this bug will be fixed for 9.1. Version 9.1 will be avilable in the beginning of the next week.
