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.
Progress Bar in Main PA
-
If I open a file directly from an archive (i.e. a video file), the progress bar in the bottom of the window doesn’t show the progress of the extraction. PA 2007 does. PA 2009 shows just the progress in percent in the task bar.
Hope this can be fixed.

Some more info would help…
What type of archive (Zip, 7z or …) and what sizes (archive and file)?
Windows XP or Vista? -
I have noticed that it work with 7zip and zip files but not with cab and rar files.
I don’t know with which filesize it will work or not. I hav tried with a 100 MB video file.
And I use WinXP SP2.And i also noticed that, if I open a file directly in PA, he shows in the bottom of the window the path with filename where he extract the file temporarily in 7zip and zip files. In cab files he don’t show any path or filename and in rar files he shows just the filename.

I don’t know with which filesize it will work or not. I hav tried with a 100 MB video file.
I was asking about the one(s) that didn’t work :p
So if I understand, when you have a CAB archive containing only one video (such as mpg); you open the CAB in PowerArchiver, then try to open the video.
How are you “opening” the video?I tried a CAB with PA 11.00.45 (beta) - admittedly a smaller video - don’t have 100 MB to hand, but still -
- When you select the video in the filelist folder, does the preview work (it does for me)?
- “double click” video (to open it) works.
- “right-click” video - Open also works.
-
I don’t have problems to open the file.
I just mean that the progress bar in the bottom of the PowerArchiver window, which comes when he temporarily extract a file, when you open it, remains blank instead of showing the progess of extracting. -
… the progress bar in the bottom of the PowerArchiver window…
Sorry, I did mis-understand as the progress is shown on the Windows Taskbar/PA tab (as %) which is where I was looking!!
Tried with 351 MB avi file / CAB archive and you are correct that the progress is NOT shown in the PA window/status - in my case neither is the filename. I just see the text
Extracting “”
Note: Same for both Modern and Classic view.
-
please try with beta 3 and let us know.
thanks…
-
Thanks. Progress bar now works.
-
Not sure that it is working …
Open Archive in Main PA (CAB file - single avi file).
Click Extract Files - Click ExtractThe extraction Sub Window opens OK
Main PA status bar still displays
Extracting “”
There is no progress indication in the status bar - although it is in the Extraction SubWindow. -
In b4 the Main PA window closes on extraction, so the status bar is no longer visible :p
Extraction window displays information, so this can be closed.
