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!
Win 11 64 bit
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.

PA 11.00.78 Eating all System Memory
-
Hello All,
I’m running PA to decompress a zip backup file of 160GB and during the process my system becomes slow and unresponsive.
Digging a little bit I discovered that PA is using all my 8GB of RAM to do this process.
The normal operation of copy a large folder using Windows Explorer doesn’t consume all my system memory.
Machine Specs:
Vista Ultimate 64
8GB RAM
Core2Quad Processor.Any ideas?
-
that unusual as there is a limit in microsoft windows of 4gb of ram that can be used. so you can’t have 8gb on a pc computer.
-
Hello my friend,
The limit of 4GB only apply to 32bit operating systems.
I’m using a 64bit operating system and this is a completelly diferent situation.
Any ideas?
-
I’m looking to Task Manager and Powerarchiver is a 32 bit software. I will let try to do the same test on a 32 bit machine, and compare the results.
By the way, anyone does this kind of test? To decompress a large file (160GB) or compress it?
Maybe the problem is force a 32 bit aplication to handle a file that big.
No one have a clue?
What options that I have as paying user?
Regards,
Marcelo.

No ideas, but a few questions …
What format are you using, what was used to create the Zip?
Is the 160GB a single file or the size of the archive after compression?Note: 7z is “known” to be memory intensive.
-
I’m using a native .zip file, and the 160GB file is contained in one unique file.
I removed the PA and installed the 7zip 64 for testing purposes and I am able to decompress this file with no problems at all.
During decompress phase, the memory usage remains in the 1.6GB for whole system, and no huge increase was noticed.
With PA, the memory usage grows and grows until the system start to become unresponsive.
I have 8GB of memory and a Q9450 Quad Core processor. The core usage still low but memory usage becomes high few minutes after.
I guess we have a kind of bug here…

Marcelo - this is currently an issue with huge single file, it is the size of single file that matters, not commulative size of the archive and it is an zip issue only.
We will be solving it in update to the zip engine later on this year, however it is not an simple fix for us (we will be replacing our zip engine completly).
thanks

Well, at least you guys know the bug and are working on it.
Meanwhile, because my work needs I keep going using the another program, and please, when a fix was released, I really apreciate to get informed.
I’m a paying user for a long time and I like very much the user interface and the add-ons… :D
Very thanks for your support.
Marcelo.

WOW, you’re kidding right? :confused: You should be ashamed for making such a statement.
