On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2

This can’t be right!

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

Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!

I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
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.
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.

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.

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.
