Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!

I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
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.
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.

.iso creation - Add folder not working.
-
PowerArchiver 2009 Pro (11.00.55) on Windows XP pro sp3 + all patches.
When adding a folder with a deep folder structure to an .iso disk image, not all files or folders are added, and the application crashes.
I was trying to create a disk image for a some software that I purchased as a digital download. When adding the folder, not all of the sub-folders or files were added. Some are added, but only a small number of files & folders actually appear in the Image Builder window.
Properties for the folder I’m trying to add to the disk image:
531 MB
94 files
22 foldersPowerArchiver 2009: Image Builder says:
(attempt 1)
6001769399636 MB
6 files
3 folders(attempt 2)
53079736367 MB
11 files
5 folders(attempt 3)
53081145396 MB
21 files
8 foldersAfter each attempt, If I close the Image Builder window & try adding the same folder again without closing all other PowerArchiver windows it adds a small number of files & folders and says:
0 MB
0 files
0 foldersIf I close all Power Archiver Windows & try again I get different (seemingly random) results shown above.
If I click the “Remove All” button in the Image Builder - the program Locks Up, and results in “This Program is not responding” dialog.
If I click the “Remove” button in the Image Builder - nothing happens.
If I attempt to add multiple files after trying to add the folder the program locks up, and results in “This program is not responding” dialog.
PS - sorry if this has already been covered, but the search function is not working for the forums (Tried IE7 & FireFox 3)
PPS - search started working after I posted this.
-
whats the size of the files that you are trying to create? thanks!
-
I’m not sure I completely understand your question. Do you want the entire directory structure, complete with file sizes for every file?
The file of the .iso that was created by another application for the exact same set of files was 532MB.
-
ok, thanks - we will check it out and let you know if we need anything else.
-
I’m having a similar issue when creating an iso dropping a folder tree into the structure is not working correctly.
mulitple instances of the same file appear to get added and other folders and files are ignored completely
-
There was an extensive rework of add folder feature in both iso maker and all of the burner tools. We spent considerable time to rewrite these options so they work as fast as they possibly can right now.
Please check RC1 via web update and let us know if everything works properly now.
thank you!

I tried with two different sets of files, and everything seems to be working fine now.
