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 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.
Problems with PowerArchiver U3 2009 in Vista 32
-
Hi,
I just downloaded and installed PowerArchiver U3 2009 (V11.03.03) on my SanDisk U3 stick.
PowerArchiver itself is running fine from the stick. My problem starts when I try to eject the stick.
When I close PowerArchiver U3 the powerarc.exe and launcher.exe processes are stopped. Now, when I try to eject the stick with the Eject button from the U3 Launchpad, I got a warning message that PowerArchiver is still running and the Launcher.exe process is started again and is running with 50% CPU load (DualCore processor here). Each additional try to eject the stick results in starting another copy of the launcher.exe process.
The same happens when I eject the stick with the Windows function “Safely Remove Hardware”. Only in this case I get no warning message that PowerArchiver is still running but Launcher.exe is still started with 50% CPU load.
Any ideas ???

It looks like it’s working fine in Windows XP SP3.
So the problem occurs only in Windows Vista.Any ideas ?

Thanks FreeBird! Issue was reproduced and forwarded to the developers. We’ll see what they can do about it.
-
weird issue, do you use U3 for other software as well?
-
Hi spwolf,
yes, I’m running some other U3 programs (like UltraCompare UC3, UltraEdit UE3, TotalCommander, Putty, WinSCP, …) without any problems in Windows Vista. Only PowerArchiver gives me problems at the moment.

thanks, maybe our SDK is out of date or something, did you try PA 2007 previously on same computer?

I’m sorry, no. But I could. If you give me a download link for the old version. Is the new license key compatible with the old version?

Sorry, same problem.

probably then due to the older version of sdk we used for U3….
It will be fixed in 11.5 release.
-
Ooops, sorry,
what I meant is that the second link you posted is also not working.
But don’t worry, I will wait for V11.5.
Thanks anyway for your help

Hi spwolf,
just tested the version you provided (10.22.02). Exactly the same problem as in version 11.03.03.
Launcher.exe uses 50% CPU load on Vista Ultimate after removal of the U3 stick.
So I’m waiting patiently for version 11.5 :)

ok… i have logged it in our bug tracking system already, it is just waiting for more time…
