Bug extracting from ZIP etc using Extract here with PA 22.00.09

[Kenneniah]

I’m running Vista 64 on my desktop, and right-click dragging does not work. After dropping all I get is the default Windows context menu for extracting using its built in support. A normal right-click without dragging does bring up the PA context menu however. On my Vista 32 bit laptop, right-click dragging does work fine. Something with the drop handler and 64 bit maybe?

64bit shell extension is completly different dll… check with 10.01 release and see if that helps.

thanks,

FYI version 10.00.39 has the same issue. Patiently awaiting version 10.01. :)

you guys can be creative with the download link while we wait for the website to be updated…

[Kenneniah]

Still no change. Uninstalled old version, rebooted, downloaded and installed new version (says 10.00.42), and rebooted. Still just get generic Windows menu when dragging archives.

:eek: Thanks for the heads up. I was really looking forward to finally getting this fixed.

Can you please try this:

Go to PowerArchiver’s installation folder (c:\program files\PowerArchiver) and run _PASETUP.EXE.

If it still doesn’t work I will make .reg file for you that will fix the problem - i think the problem is only with registry, but I am not sure why this happneds after installation when all registry entries are correct.

[skypx]

@spwolf:

Yes, basically the “extract here” option is available.

The issue should be fixed in 10.01.01. Thanks!

No change. I only have the option previously mentioned.

You must restart computer because the DLL must be replaced. Maybe also try with clean install?

I restarted the computer after the installation, but I did not do a clean install. I will and report the results.

I uninstalled, restarted, installed, restarted, and unfortunately I still have the same options previously mentioned. Do I need a special tool to perform a clean install?

[spwolf]

you still only get extract here option?

[Uvi]

With the test version posted above and Vista x64 I now get Extract Here and Extract To options with a right click and drag operation.

[Kenneniah]

Same. Version 10.01.03 is now giving me the “Extract Here” and “Extract To” options so I’m happy.

that is what you should get…

I’m sorry to say that it’s not working as it should. The “Extract here” and “Extract to” options will extract all files to the same location. There is no option to extract a zipped folder to another folder within the target location. So if you right click and drag a folder named “files” to the e: drive, it will only extract the contents to the root drive and not to a folder called “files”.

I have the same issue as skypx, always extracts to the root directory. I am on day 25 of my trial and so far I am not convinced to buy :(

The german version 10.01.03 is not displaying the drag’n drop menu at all, like the version before.

With the english version I’ve the same issue as wallan37 and skypx.
