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 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.
PA 2009 Beta - Backup problem
-
Hi,
I’ve made a first try with the backup function.
In the wizard I modified the following settings:
- 7-zip (Max. compression)
- daily backup at 16:30
But in the final tab it is constantly displayed:
- Archive Options/Format: ZIP
- Scheduling option: At windows startup
In the scheduling options window, the setting for enabling the PA queue is not remembered when I switch to another page.
And when I run the backup manually I get a 7-zip file without any compression!
Bug?

thanks, we will be checking it out

Hi,
I just installed the Beta 2 and the problem with disappearing settings seems to be solved.
But I still get a 7-zip file without any compression as a result.

thats the only thing we couldnt reproduce - are you sure you are not compressing files that cant be compressed any further?
thanks!

I’m sure, because when I do the manual 7-zipping I get a 12MB file and when I do it via the backup script the file size is 268MB (which is the size of the original files).
Those are mainly source code (text) files with some bitmaps files.
Another thing: I changed in the backup profile from 7-zip to ZIP and now the backup doesn’t start at all. The new PA windows appears but closes immediately after some seconds before doing any zipping.
In the logfile you will find only the lines:
Backup to O:\X-MAS\Zeus 2\Backup\Zeus2-07-24-11-24-48.zip started at 24.07.2008 11:24:48
Backup Done. O:\X-MAS\Zeus 2\Backup\Zeus2-07-24-11-24-48.zip
Backup Done. –- 24.07.2008 11:24:51So no file added to zip.

we will check with your pbs, since it works fine here… thanks!

I tried again with a completly fresh install of the German Beta 2 version and the problem was still present.
I get still a completly uncompressed 7-zip file.

we figured out what the issue is when someone sent us more info via support - it works when backup is started within PA, but if it is started from Windows, it will not compress properly.
Will be fixed in b3.
thanks,
