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.
Show Backup Done - Doesn't Appear
-
I have just upgraded to Power Archiver 2009 which I find an improvement over the 2007 version, however when I run a backup “Backup Done” does not appear when the backup is finished even though I have checked the appropriate box. I am using Vista Business and didn’t have this problem with Power Archiver 2007.
-
Im also running Vista Business and I get teh alerts. But it depends. If I choose the option to run from the system tray, I get a baloon tip. If I choose run minimize I get a dialog.
But a problem I noticed is that when I run any backup from PA, it opens the config window every time. Very annoying.

are you starting backup from Windows or from within PowerArchiver?
-
I have created a shortcut icon and placed it on the desktop. To run the backup I click on the icon. I don’t know whether this means I am running the backup from Windows or PowerArchiver. Either way, I’m doing what I used to do with PA 2007 which told me when the backup was completed.

That’s the setup I have running here and “Backup Done” appears at the end. Only difference between us is that you are using Vista Business and I am using Vista Home Premium. I wouldn’t have thought that would make a difference though.
-
difference is if you have PA starting as minimized or in try… in that case, it is running “silently” without backup done message… if you disable option how to start PBS from Windows (alert tab in backup wizard), it will show backup done option.
-
we changed this option so it doesnt try to be smart anymore… if you check it, it will always show :)
