Powerarc.exe crash (queue?)

[rev23dev]

So i finally had a large number of zip files to unzip and decided to turn on the queue. i right clicked one in windows explorer, selected ‘extract to <zipname>’ and it added to the queue and started going. cool!

i did a second one. access violation FFFFFFFF in powerarc.exe. weird. i tried a few more. those seem to go ok. added another. same crash.

i can reproduce this everytime.

also, a cool feature would be to be able to drag and drop the files into the queue so you wouldn’t have to add each one manually. if you did that it could just default to extracting to the zip path in the directory they reside in? i dunno. just a though. would help me out :P

oh yeah… windows vista</zipname>

[spwolf]

32bit Vista, right?

[rev23dev]

indeed! 32-bit.

for being a developer myself i sure suck at giving bug feedback. sorry :P

[spwolf]

we will check it out… thanks

[spwolf]

please check with latest internal release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1010.exe

and let us know if it works properly now.

thanks!

[rev23dev]

still seems to be broken in 10.11

[spwolf]

can anyone else please try to reproduce this issue?

thank you!

[rev23dev]

still crashing in 10.20b2

maybe it’s the file sizes? they range about 30-100mb each

the crash appears to come when you try and add another item to the queue before the previous one finishes initializing or something.

[ivan]

the crash is in POWERARC.EXE - not PASTARTER.EXE?

[rev23dev]

correct

fill out support form and send us e-mail address so we can contact you directly with special test version.

I can reproduce this.

[guido]

It’s very easy to reproduce.
here’s how.
1. extract a spanned rar using extract /folder
2. now extract another only very quickly (important).

This will make PA crash.

I think some registry keys get overwritten, locked or something.

I did some changes and maybe this will be fixed in Beta 3.

Please check with Beta 3 preview:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1020b3.exe

and let us know if it works properly now.

thanks!

[rev23dev]

couldn’t duplicate this over remote desktop but that runs a little slower. will get some more solid tests this weekend.

thanks!

[guido]

I cannot reproduce the crashes anymore. So that’s a good sign.
