W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

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. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Beta, PA 11.50.20
PowerArchiver not recognizing Antivirus
Don’t know if this a problem with other Antivirus or not.
I use Avast and on scanning a file I get the message.You need to configure PowerArchiver to use a virus scanner before you can use this feature.
Go to ‘Options tab’ -> ‘Configuration’ -> ‘Locations’ to configure a virus scanner.It is configured already and set to use ASHQUICK.EXE
Tried changing by browsing to C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashquick.exeSame message.

funny you should mention this Luxor…only yesterday I tried the same thing with the nod32 command line listed here on the forum but I got the same message.
figured I’d maybe typed in the wrong info but I tried several times and in the end gave up.
thanks for mentioning it.
-
when will a fix be made avaliable. Also something to notice is that you can use an antispyware program here i tried yesterday and that worked never did before. thats not important. I have tested and no probs just an error message but i did with a lot of configuring manage to get it to work but not how it shouls avast pro i mean

Works in build 11.50.27 if I select C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashquick.exe
Doesn’t work if I use ASHQUICK.EXE from the dropdown list.
-
you have to set specific path to the filename, otherwise it will not work… thanks
-
it seems to be working in 11.50.30…
mine is configured for nod32 and does scan them but obviously doesn’t report any issues.
a box flashes up briefly but I don’t have time to read it. -
update…
tried it with zip file containing 1900 files and scanned them all but locked up at 100% and had to be closed via task manager.
will do additional testing on various zipscould be a conflict with nod32 v4 I guess.
it will work with some and not with other zip files…on some it seems to hang at 100% for about 30 seconds before closing…I get the feeling it’s down to particular files in the zip file…the one that seems to hang all of the time for me contained my nvidia drivers but other test files close immediately.
this file ‘nvlddmkm.sys’ seems to cause it to hang.

Oh yeah! the blindingly obvious passes me by sometimes. :o
Working fine for me then.
