I’m trying to backup the complete contents of a directory using:
pacomp64 -parcz T:\BACKUP.PA C:\STUFF
The contents of subdirectories of C:\STUFF isn’t getting backed up!
The sub directories are just stored as empty directories!
How do I achieve this ; show me a command line example !
Hello @Mili,
thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs.
I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me:
While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License.
Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Version:
PACL 9.00 Beta 2
What’s New since version PACL 7:
Updated to PowerArchiver 2017 engine Fully unicode interface RAR v5 (v4) support PAE2 supportLatest format support and all the various engine updates done in PA 2017.
Full support for .PA format with many different options and switches.
Download:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE
Due to the support of new PA format and all the changes needed for that support, we decided to move up version number to PACL 9. This is purely cosmetical - companies who purchased PACL8, have PACL9 now added to their orders. Users who have free upgrades for PACL8, now have PACL9 added as free upgrade (Business users with active select (pro/tbx), all personal users (pro/tbx).
Since we are finalizing PA 2017, we can also now spend a lot more time on PACL9.
Please check your bugs, and check .PA support as well.
Thank you! @Alpha-Testers

The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019]
The program not extracts one self-extracting file.
How to reproduce the problem
Download the SFX file by link: install.exe
Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located.
Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive.
If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter.
Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides.
Enter command:
As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no
files will be extracted.
The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file.
This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program.

Hi,
there’s a problem with PAComp and file names with a leading ".\ ".
That’s nowadays a problem, since PowerShell auto complete will complete a file test.zip in the current directory to .\test.zip.

The first command reports “All OK”, but test.7z is not created.
The second command reports an error, but the error message isn’t helpful at all. VSS doesn’t help anything if a program fails to write to a file. It’s for reading locked files… And the problematic file isn’t mentioned at all. By the way, there’s a typo, it should be “open”, not “opet”.
Only the third command (without ".\ ") works as expected.
The problem exists in the x86 and x64 version, it doesn’t matter if the archive already exists (updating) or not (creating a new archive).
would be nice to have czip support

I am Having Appcrash mid problem in my Pc.
Hi,
I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat:
1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks
2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later
3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir
4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time.
5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks
ZIP archive damaged

Hi, I have a real problem. I had to reinstall my Windows and have my own files in ZIP archive packed.
After installation, I wanted to decompress the file back. I got an error message that a file can not entpacktwerden and the operation was aborted.
I have Try this file from the archives to delete but it did not work the file was still available. When you try all the files except this one hung to expand the program.
Then I thought I times change the name of that file, but only received an error message and click on the OK was the only 1KB file size.
My own gestamten files were due to a bescheuerten file is not deleted entpackenließ. Is there a possibility this error can be undone or so what?
What really help! Regards, Eggerd

have you tried REPAIR ZIP command? of course, make a copy of archive before applying it. it should copy to repaired archive files that can be successfully decompressed
not a 100% solution, but at least “guaranteed minimum”
-
Where can I find the option to repair it? I have searched but found nothing.
Thanks ever for the answer!
-
i’ve created zip archive and then found this command in menus. may be it’s a drawback of PA which doesn’t show it outside of zip archives
actually i’m not a GUI user :) my first thought was to recommend something like old pkzipfix utility :)
-
where exactly is the command to fix … 've already other programs sought to repair but they are so complicated
-
with ribbon interface it’s in menu Tools, submenu Tools, last command
-
bulat - there is no “ribbon interface” in PACL :p

My own gestamten files were due to a bescheuerten file is not deleted entpackenließ. Is there a possibility this error can be undone or so what?
Is the “bescheuerten file” the actual Zip archive or is it one file within the archive?
Note: Repair option in PACL is PAFIX.
Spwolf : PAFIX not mentioned in Manual.txt - do you need a seprate error post for this??
-
[EDIT: deleted]
-
So … a quick aside: I’m German and this is only translated text!
But back to the topic^^ Well, I have found the option to repair but run always comes only “Error fixing archive” …
What should I do now?Apologies the bad English!!! :rolleyes:
-
Apologies the bad English!!!
That’s OK. I have the same problem in German :D
Check the size of the damaged Zip file.
If it is only 1KB as you originally reported (when trying to change the name) then the archive cannot be fixed - I’m sorry but you have lost the data.
If it is large enough to contain the data then you could try different repair utilities - e.g. 7-zip, WinZip etc.
but I doubt they will work either.This is one reason it is recommended to have more than one backup - and to test them after creating.
