Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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!
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

Outook Addin for 2007- No Tab
-
Hi, I installed the beta 2 Outlook for 2007 add-on on my home machine with Vista Ultimate and Office 2007 Enterprise. When I went into Outlook and tools then Options there was no PowerArchiver tab. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several time but it still was the same. I then installed it on my laptop which was XP Pro and Office 2007 Enterprise and it is the same, no PowerArchiver tab. I then tried it on my machine at work which is Vista Business and Office 2007 Enterprise and on that machine it works ok. So why would it not work on mt home desktop or laptop?

Hi Carmen,
did you exit Outlook before installation or restart your computer after installation? Without that, you can not install it properly.
Anyone else similar experiences? Can some regulars post what installations worked for them? Just to be safe :-).
thanks!
-
Well I couldn’t even install beta 2.
When it got to Unregistering… I got a message box (Title: Microsoft Outlook) saying Windows should be closed :confused:
Office 2003 / Win XP / Trying to “upgrade” from Beta 1.Tried twice - same result.
Then noticed both Beta 1 AND Beta 2 were in Add/Remove so have now uninstalled both and want to try again on Monday before saying more.

Hi Spwolf,
I didn’t even open Outlook after starting up the PC and restarted after PA Outlook add-in install, no different. My machine at work installed fine even after having Outlook open and closed and no reboot. If I go into Trust Center in Outlook and check there the add-in is not listed anywhere. Is there a way to manually install the DLL to see if that will make the Tab show up?

just press confirm or continue (dont remember what is it) and it will work fine. Or at least it did in my example.

Tried that, but it didn’t work - at least the PA options/tab was removed from Outlook.
Note : Unistalling beta 2 from add/remove also failed.But I can try again Monday - my second PC is broken at the moment :(
-
After removing all previous PAOP entries via Add/Remove, beta 2 has now installed OK.
Small “gripe” - it didn’t find the installed PowerArchiver folder on my D:\ drive, only offered to install into “default” folder on C:\ :rolleyes:

Anyone else?

I just attempted to install 2.0 beta 2 plug-in. It said it installed, but when I opened Outlook 2003, it still showed the old plug-in. Restarted the computer, rechecked, still old plug-in. Went to control panel and found both of the plug-in installed. Uninstalled both, re-installed 2.0 and now it shows that I have the latest one installed.
-
Restarted your computer?
-
Yes, restarted, rechecked Outlook, and the old plug-in was still showing. Uninstalled both, re-installed the 2.0 and then opened Outlook and the new plug-in was there.
-
I just installed the plug-in on my other desktop and it installed fine. I didn’t need to restart the computer. Still shows both 1.10 and 2.0 plug-in installed in the control panel.
-
that was due to the dll being in use - it should have been updated after restart.
thanks for the info!
