    Windows 11 Shell Extension crash
    W
    Copied the Take Command shortcut, changed Target to be wt.exe -p “Take Command” and saved it. Right-clicked to get to properties and Explorer crashed. (wt.exe is the Microsoft Terminal program, which I have installed from the Microsoft Store.) The Target path had changed to: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p “Take Command” Created a new shortcut in a Start Menu folder and set the command line to the same, and it crashed the same. Created a new shortcut and set the command line to mspaint.exe (also a Windows Store app) and Explorer crashed on right-click on the shortcut. It appears PowerArchiver shell extensions doesn’t handle Windows Store apps in shortcuts properly. Perhaps it needs better defensive coding around checking the Target of shortcuts, or just ignoring shortcuts altogether. Running PA 22.00.11 on Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.6584

    Affected by winrar/.rar vulnerability?

    Was Power Archiver affected by the WinRAR/.rar vulnerability discovered by ESET researchers recently? Not sure if PA is using their libraries for extraction.

    Ultimate zip was made by powerarchiver
    D
    From google search AI Overview Yes, that’s correct. UltimateZip was indeed a product of the same company that developed PowerArchiver, and it was essentially a rebranded version of PowerArchiver. It was discontinued and replaced by PowerArchiver.

    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT
    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).

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D
    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?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB
    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.

      I did see that! The auto-detection for shell extensions is not the same as actually extracting.

        So…my question is where did this feature go as if I revert back to the older version I can extract these files by right clicking where now I cannot. This is my whole point in this that this is no longer available in the latest version (2009), but still works in the older versions when reinstalling those.

          who knows, things are constantly being changed and of course, when you change something, possible issues might have been introduced… We will have this one in mind for next minor update!

              Yes and no. I’m still not able to extract via right click with nVidia drivers. I was able to extract Dell drivers as well as a couple others, but not any nVidia drivers from their downloads site. I can still open it from within PA and extract it, but not via the right click as I can and still can with PA2007 (10.22).

                Btw I hope this isn’t a final release as since I’ve installed this I’ve had many explorer issues and when I shutdown I get many run time errors. Going to uninstall for the time being, but thanks for looking at this topic!

                  Btw I would be a bit more precise in the exact error messages; however, each time it’s been on shutdown so it’s a bit hard to screenshot the error messages unless I had a digital camera next to me. Also upon booting up each time my error even logs were cleared, so I wasn’t even able to grab the event logs for the Explorer errors or the Runtime messages.

                        works apsolutly perfect here with that exe… can you send your PA registry key to support at conexware . com, zipped (important), and we will try with your settings.

                        Can anyone else reproduce same issue with 64bit? It is important since we have to launch new version soon… thanks!

                          Sorry…I wasn’t thinking yet this morning. It was on a XPSP3 32bit machine. Didn’t get around to installing it on my other box yet which has Vista SP1 64bit. When I installed it I installed it on top of the version I already had installed which was the 11.0.3 version. I can attempt another reinstall of the latest version later by uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that works. Will let you know the results later.

                                  If it is, then did you restart your computer after latest update so shell extensions can be replaced?

                                      Well, after reinstalling PA2009, an older nvidia driver can be extracted via right click, but the newer 180.xx drivers are still missing the right click extract option. Thanks.

                                        One more thing I’ve noticed is that when right clicking EXE files on a networked share it takes anywhere from 10 to 15 seconds for the right click to display any options. This is on my Vista SP1 64 bit box. This was not taking this long before the 11.02 version.

                                        Btw I’ve reinstalled on XP after uninstalling and so far I haven’t received any issues.

                                          An example file which I wouldn’t mind sending over although it was purchased software is a download version of Quicken. This one for example when right clicking the EXE extractable file take somewhere of at least 30 seconds before it finally gives me options. Before the 11.02 this did not happen. When I disable the shell integration bamb works just peachy.
