W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

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. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -
Hi Dear,

I think PA just blue screened my Vista x64 SP1 PC
-
Had been using default classic skin for a longtime so I decided to change it to the modern skin. Didn’t like the skin so I proceeded to go to the skins options and there were two others listed MyPA and Longhorn. Changed to Longhorn and PA suddenly crashed. Any attempt to reopen PA just caused an instant “This app stopped working” message from Vista. I then decided to go to the PA program directory and delete those two skins hoping that would cause PA to revert to default skin. As I was clicking through the directories, I noticed that my sound as screwed up as in static filled and the “click” sound effect was instead the “stop” or “crash” sound effect instead. Figured it was time for a reboot so I went to the start menu and selected to restart the PC. Within 20 seconds I got a blue screen. Powered down the PC and cold booted it and got a windows recovered from a serious error message. Immediately deleted those two skins and got PA to start again, but this was very troubling. This Vista install isn’t 3 months old and I had no issues up until this point. Using latest PA 2007 build, btw.
****** I tried to repro on an XP PC and although I didn’t get it to crash, there are definite problems with those two skins. If you switch back and forth between them, they will glitch up. It will for example show the MyPA skin even though it clearly shows Longhorn skin as being checked. Those skins should be removed from the installer if they’re not going to be updated. TBO, neither one of them are that great, especially LH.

Thanks Denzilla,
Im sure one of the developers will get back to you with regards to this issue. In the mean while can you provide a bit more information of your system specs of which this issue occured. ie, CPU, RAM, Vista Version ie Ultimate, Home etc… also if possible any programs that were runing as well.
Can any other users who own Vista try and replicate this and report it please? This will allow PA to gain an idea to the overall impact to other users.

I’m unable to reproduce this on vista x86.
Windows 11 Pro ENU x64
Intel Core I7
32 GB RAM -
Just tried it on Vista home premium 32 bit and could not reproduce.
What version of PA are you using ? as there was a problem with these skins in an earlier version as posted HERE

I could be a specific problem with Vista x64, SP1 or a combination of the two. My hardware:
Asus M2N-X motherboard
A64 X2 4400+
2GB Corsair VS DDR-667
Sapphire Radeon HD 3450 PCI-E
Seagate 250GB SATA II
Vista x64 w/SP1I had no other apps open at the time other than a few things in the systray (KAV7, APC powerchute, ATI control panel)

skins should not be used in x64… it is our error, it was supposed to be disabled when it detects x64.
so as an workaround, dont use skins in x64 :-).

Just glad to hear there was an actual reason for the blue screen. Its actually the first blue screen I ever had. Seen them on other people’s systems, but never my own. Rather scary :p
