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!

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

Password is not working!!
-
I have several folder (.pae extension) which I encrypted using my personal password which I’m very sure.
When I try to decrypt, it says that the password is incorrect. I tried uppercase and lowercase but then still it says my password is incorrect. I tried to decrypt the file before , it works but then now, can’t anymore.I have no idea why!!!
I really hope your side can help me because all the folders have my very personal pictures and documents.
I am very sure the password but then it says that my password is incorrect.
I email your technical team but then I never receive any reply. I really hope you guys can help me out.
Please…:confused::(

Terry,
Thank you for your reply.
The problem is, I am very sure I got the correct password. 100% sure. The problem is from your side. I have no idea why this is happening. Is it because I updated the software.

Hi faheemnoor, What version did you upgrade from and too? and do you have the old version available.
I would try uninstalling the current version cleaning the registry and then re-install the old version before upgrade and try your password again.
If it does work and you are able to get in please let us know as it is a bug as far as I know PowerArchiver Upgrades should be backwards compatible with the well known PAE Encryption Algorithm.
Also have you sufferd any system issues? virus’s? crash while working in your encrypted file as its possible its file structure has been currupt?
-
Where was the pae file saved?
It could be 2 reasons:
1. PAE file is corrupted (usually when saved on CD/DVD media, if scratched or so).
2. Password is wrong. -

Thanks for your reply and advice Mr Richard.
I had tried to uninstall and install the old version. Tried to decrypt the folder, but can’t =(
Nope, my machine was very much fine without any crash or virus attack. The main problem here is, all the ecrypted folder could not be decrypt again and again I am very much sure my password is correct. My keyboard and all are fine also. I have no idea why this happens. Can you please advise?
The folder really have my very own memories and it is so valueable for me.
Any other advice that might help?

2. Password is wrong.Hi, thanks for your reply.
It was saved on my lappy’s hard disc and again I’m very much sure the password is correct. All my encrypted folder giving me problem saying that the password i entered is incorrect.
Any other advice that I can try to decrypt?

is the CAP’s lock on? :D… Sorry I am joking.
I am out of idea’s if you are sure there is no curruption of file and have downgraded the a previos version to which you knew worked without hassle.
Then I would assume that although you beleave you enterered your password correctly you possibly entered another one and forgot about it.
or again it goes back to a curruption in the file that you might not be aware of.
try disabling your firewall/spyware/antivirus/ programs etc and try again there could be a small chance they might be blocking it???
For example, I use ZoneAlarm and if setup incorectly it will block PA from doing certain tasks.

One of the “benefits” of PAE encryption is that it can not be decrypted (easily) without the correct password and if it is not accepting your password then there is no simple solution.
It is worth checking that you have enough free disk space on your working (temp file) drive - you didn’t say which archiving method you used, but you could need up to four times the size of the archive available as free space.

It was due to lose of your memory. You forgot your password

Excuse me? No! I am very sure about my password aarathi
