BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

@PoooMukkel:

I used PA2007 until yesterday. Till that that day I had Shell Extensions for PA. After installing 2009 B1 there were no Shell Extensions. I changed the Shell Extension Options in the PA Config, but still there are no Shell Extensions.

Today I installed PA2009 B2 and still there are no Shell Extensions… After right clicking on a file there are no options to use PA2009. :(

What can I do? Is this a bug? Only my bug?

I’m using Windows Vista Home Premium x64.

just to confirm - are you using english or german?

[PoooMukkel]

German PA2009 on German Vista x64

[spwolf]

so to clarify - it doesnt work in german PA, works in English (with some issues)…. quick fix is to uninstall german and install english.

Both issues will be fixed in Beta 3 (english and german).

thanks

I have a similar problem with PA2009 B1 or B2:

when i drag an archive to another folder by using the right mouse button, both options “extract here” and “extract to subfolder” just create an empty folder without any files inside.
I’m using “german vista x64 sp1” with latest “english PA2009”.

^^That’s the same problem Cipher has posted already some answers ago… ;)

@spwolf
I’ll wait for the Beta 3. :)

i know, thats exactly what i mean.
i just wanted to give spywolf my details, because i thought it would be a german vista x64 problem.

Hello,

I’m having same problem too. Though “Shell extensions” are enabled on PA 2008 B2, they don’t show.

I am using:

Vista Ultimate 64Bit (German)
PA 2009 B2 (German)

I will quickly remove the german version and install the english version and see if it works.

Hello again,

it seems indeed to be a bug in the german version of PA 2009 B2.

I just installed the english version over the german one and shell extensions are there and everything works fine.
Then I reinstalled the german version over the english one, and amasing, shell extensions still there but in english, though the program is now in german :-)

Thank you for testing! Are there any umlauts or special chars in the German version of the shell extension menu?

Not that I noticed; the shell extensions are completely in english, but if you reinstall the german version over the english version, you get the german interface of the program with english shell extensions.

As spwolf wrote, a “work around” if you can’t wait for B3 :-)

[spwolf]

please try with beta 3 and let us know.

thanks…

It seems to be working correctly now.

[PoooMukkel]

Yes! It works for me fine now!

German PA2009 on German Vista x64 and German Shell Extensions
