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.

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

entered into the buglist…

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.
