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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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.
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

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.

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/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
Extract *.pae archive with other archive utilities

I want to send encrypted files to a friend who does not own Power Archiver. How can he extract & decipher .pae files with archive utilities such as winzip knowing the password I have used to encrypt my files ?
Is there a way to encrypt files without using .pae proprietary format ? -
Use the zip encrypter. Right click on the file you want to zip. Select zip and optitions. Bottom right corner is the option to creat a zip file with a password.
-
The shell extension did not work, I could no see the obvious solution !
I have re-installed Power Archiver and it works as explained.Many thanks

basically you are making a aes zip file instaed of a pae file. Aes is the standard for new password encrypted zip archives so it will work with winzip.
PAE files are great cause you can use powerachive to encrypt files that you don’t want archived but stil;l want them encrypted

Is there a way to encrypt files without using .pae proprietary format ?PAE files use PowerArchiver Encryption. These can only be decrypted by PowerArchiver.
As amh209 stated, you should NOT use PAE. Instead use the encryption options of the compression format you are using.
E.g. For Zip compression:
New Zip :- On the Options screen / Zip Encryption Type
You can select PK V2.04g - standard password (not very secure) - All WinZip compatible
Or one of the AES encryption options - needs Winzip 9
See PowerArchiver Help file.Working from shell extension, be sure to select “Compress with Options…”
Better still - convince your friend to use PowerArchiver :cool:
-
Right now you can only decrypt .PAE (PowerArchiver Encrypted) files with PowerArchiver.
We shall work on a DLL to allow other programs (utilities) to decrypt .PAE files in the future - UNPAE.DLL .
-
And what about the option to create an encrypted SFX file ?
I know it is on a wishlist but i don’t hear much about it lately. :confused:

Keep looking for interesting software.

It is still in our wishlist and it will be considered probably as plug-in for next versions…
