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.
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.
Possible bug in creating password protected zip files in v11.03.04
-
I can’t find any setting to prevent an issue caused by the following task:
1. Right click on a folder and choose “Compress to Zip + Options”
2. Choose any encryption from the dropdown box.
3. Press Add and type in a password when prompted twice.
…the result is a password protected file which always includes a copy of the folder structure (which is empty) along with the files.
-
Can’t reproduce this. Please check if you don’t have the “Save full folder info” option checked.
-
Maybe give us more details of folder structure that is being saved?
thanks!
-
No, I don’t have the “Save full folder info” option checked.
Since there are so many settings and everyone uses different ones, here’s the easiest way to reproduce the issue:
–-
Perform a clean install and make this single change:Options/Configuration/Miscellaneous/General
uncheck - “Use normal relative path”(I don’t like having this option turned on since it creates an unnecessary root folder in an archive if a single folder is zipped)
Create a folder on your desktop called “test” and place two text files in it.
Right-click on the folder and choose “Compress with Options” and click “Add”
At this point you end up with an archive which contains the two text files along with an unnecessary and empty folder structure.
If you were to choose “Compress to “test.zip”” instead, a proper archive is built.
The reason I felt it had to do with password protected files is that I would choose “Compress with Options” to include a password and “Compress to…” otherwise.
Having researched this further, I’ve discovered that when you simply choose “Compress with Options”, you get that issue regardless of whether or not you password protect it as shown in the steps above.
-
The empty folder stucture being saved using the steps in my last message is (in my case):
Documents and Settings
…Administrator
….Desktop
…testThanks
-
thanks, we will check it out…
-
I have the same problem.
It’s a bug.
And it happens whenever you select:
Compress to Zip + Options (password protected or not)
Example:
- Right click on a folder that contains 3 files located at D:\Desktop\Sample Folder
- Select “Compress to Zip + Options”
- Uncheck all checkboxes and use default options
- Click on Add
The zip file is created called: Sample Folder.zip It contains the 3 files, plus an empty folder: Desktop\Sample Folder
