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 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.

PA memory crash with 7zip
-
Hi there,
once again… :)
You had this issue solved in last version and here it is again in the new version.
But this time I found the reason I hope.Doing my packups with 7zip of a directory. In this directory are also zip files. Whenever PA reaches the zip files that shall be compressed with 7zip it crashes with the error that the hdd is full or the directory not writable.
Unfortunately the workaround to change the compression level does not work anymore. So again no backups. :confused:
The backup with zip instead of 7zip doesnt even start. Only creates a huge progessor gain.Regards, alex
-
how many files total, both size and count, are to be backed up? thanks
-
Sorry for the delay…
9.6gb, 122000 Files and 13000 Folders…
In the previous version it worked very well…!!
-
try turning off optimized compression and see if it helps.
As to the zip, try waiting a bit - i think it is not crashing but it is taking time to build an list of files to be compressed…
thanks
-
Didn’t work either…
-
waiting a bit didnt work for zip?
-
How long…? Waited for 20 Minutes…
Something was changed for the new release I guess… :(
-
Even in the new update the error occurs. Any new ideas?
-
nope, nothing has changed… we have tested internally and we can not reproduce… we will try more.
-
Is there any more Information I can give you…
-
Would it help if I change backup type from normal to full?
-
i dont think so… try changing some other options to see if something else might be affecting it.
We have just tried creating backup from 20 GB/77,000 files and everything worked properly.
Try breaking that backup into 2 different backups - does that help?
thanks!
-
Two different jobs or just split files?
-
two different jobs… see what happens then?
thanks!
-
we believe that this issue has been fixed in Beta 1, please check it out and let us know if it works properly.
thanks!
-
Problem still exists. No improvement here…
-
well then it is some other issue :-).
so it happens only when zip files are there?
-
I splitted the same Folder in 4 jobs and it worked…
SAME FILES…!!!
Folder in 1 job crashes…
-
is there an difference now between different compresion levels in 7zip? solid/non solid?
-
Didn’t check yet. I just did a check with the same settings as the 4 jobs just in 1 job.
-
can you try compressing same folder via shell extensions, manually (not in backup), with same compression settings… does that work?
-
I uninstalled it. ALL backups didn’t run with errors solved in the last version. Did a rollback hoping things to work again.
-
Dear PA Team,
I don’t know how you are tesing. Maybe I should be one of your beta testers.
Did the rollback. Some old backup jobs work, some don’t. How can this be? Right click works. pbs does not work. I just don’t know what your QA is doing.
Look I am trying to use the tool as a daily backup tool. Wasn’t it ment that PA can do this too?
Somehow with every new verson bugs in doing backups get bigger…
Very disappointing…!!! -
…Maybe I should be one of your beta testers…
You are (as are the rest of us using it) - PA 2010 is a beta.

Very disappointing…!!!two big 7zip backup issues were solved in this version, and we cant reproduce issue you have so you have to help us somehow :-).
-
Can you please post your pbs file here?
I have tried many situations to reproduce this but could not, we simply need more information. I have tried compressing 200,000 files and 80 GB of data and backup worked fine.
