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).
New version:
PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.00.10:
Download:
https://u.powerarchiver.com/pa2023/powarc220010.exe
New build for some bug fixes and issues - full list to come with new update. Please test and see if you have any issues.
Thanks everyone for your assistance!
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!
Win 11 64 bit
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
344c6c52-f03f-407b-ad76-8130b31936bb-image.png
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.

Some labels in the help toolbar are not translated:

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/

As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Error with PowerArchiver

Every time I open Power Archiver or open something with Power Archiver I get the next blue screen:
**"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you’s seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. if this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check te be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Thanks

First step - follow this other thread.
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=228Maybe you have something in common.
P.S. What is SGuard.sys ? It isn’t with PowerArchiver.
What version of Windows etc? -
I don’t know what SGuard.sys is.
I work with Windows XP SP2. -
Try searching for that file SGuard.sys, it is causing this issue and should be nowhere close to PowerArchiver. It could be anything from Antivirus to some actual virus…
-
The fault is with IOLO’s System mechanic Startup Guard. Disable startup Guard to run powerarchiver

Hi,
I am getting a similar error (with the same file), and I have figured out that this file is being used by System mechanic (Iolo Technologies).
Please let me know if u have the software installed on your machine.Regards,
Inq -
thanks for the info :)
just today my computer kept crashing every time i tried to load powerarchiver, and i couldn’t figure out what was going on, and then i read this thread and realized i had enabled system mechanic 5’s startup guard, so i disabled it and now powerarchiver is working fine again
i didn’t get the blue screen though, my computer just crashed and rebooted. i’m running windowx xp home sp2
is it known what the actual problem is between these 2 programs?? startup guard doesn’t seem to have any problem with any other programs i’ve been running. any chance of a fix or workaround for this?? i kind of like the functionality of startup guard but won’t use it with this crash issue with powerarchiver
-
Can someone please report this issue to System Mechanic’s support? This is Startup Guard problem since it is attaching itself to PowerArchiver and not vice versa…
-
If PowerArchiver appears in either the Black List or White List of the Startup Guard utility, remove it and Startup Guard will work.
