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. -

Hi,
When you click on the Buy Now link, you come across four tabs - Home or Work, Enterprise Unlimited, Educational Discount, & Gift Discount.
What is the difference between a licence purchased via Gift Discount and a Home/Work licence?
Also, how can I renew the PowerArchiver Select plan a year after the purchase? Will it remind me automatically?
Best,

I’m running PA 21.00.17 64-bit on a 64-bit i7 desktop with W10 Pro, latest version. This 32gb of installed RAM.
As I use the PA pbs system for a number of scheduled archiving operations throughout the day, PA Starter is set to load and run at system startup.
In the course of trying to identify some causes of slowness and bottlenecks in other processes, I notice that PA Starter (PAS) always runs at between 11% and 15% of CPU (see screenshot), usually at about 12-13%. This is by far the highest demanding process on the system, as shown by Task Manager. In Performance Monitor, PAS Average CPU is 8.32, with every other process at less that 1 i.e. in decimal places only.
Task Manager also shows PAS Power Usage as “Very High”, and is the only process shown thus.
I have looked again at the information about PAS at https://wiki.powerarchiver.com/en:help:details:powerarchiver_starter, which was last modified in 2016. The article states a low memory usage for PAS of 784k, which is fair enough, but it is the large CPU overhead which is of concern.
It is of course possible to change the PAS priority, but this has no effect on CPU overhead.
However, is it possible to change PAS, which is required only at intervals to initiate PA scheduled tasks, from consuming so much system resource for every moment of the day?

I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.
I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

Hi. The “Move” Action seems to be Not Working when used in the Tool – Batch Archive.
Using the Options – Configuration – Compression Profiles ---- I created a Profile with the Action of Move. Also set were Zip, and Method Deflate.
When I use the Tool - Batch Archive – It appears to me that the Action Move does not Move the compressed files (basically add to zip, and delete the added file from original location on the same disk). Zip file(s) are created and look ok.
Typically I on the Batch Archive process – I have selected options to use a Profile with the Move Action.
File’s Current Folder Group files from same folder into same archive Add subfolders to separate archivesMy PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .
Can you reproduce ? – Or do you need additional details or information?

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
i just registered my own copy and i need some help to set it…
if i set the ‘configuration>shell extension>open folder after extracting’ checkbox, after decompress an archive is opened the file manager on that folder but… if somebody is using a different file manager how to open XYplorer or Directory Opus for example and NOT the MS file manager?
consider this as a feature request also if not available within the 2022 version

I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.
PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

Just a question is Ashampoo zip pro 4 built by Powerrachiver as it is very similar and uses the pae encryption.

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

PowerArchiver 2010 and Windows 7

Well, the changelog says full Windows 7 support.
I’ve installed Win 7 x64 build 7057 yesterday. This came at PA installation. I’ve used the default installer settings.
-
and? I would guess it is temporary bug with temporary version of Win7.
It works fine with 7000 and 7022, you should report it to Microsoft if you can so they fix it, but I am assuming it is bug affecting many different programs.
Just like when your Notepad opens when desktop starts in 7057 :-).
-
I do hope it is just a temporary bug. When PA 2010 Beta 2 wouldn’t install on 7057 I figured no biggie I’d just drop back to beta 1.
It refused to install as well so I fell back to PA 2009. However, it wouldn’t install, either. Guess I’ll have to wait till the next Windows 7 build to (hopefully) get my PA functionality back.

we run PA 2010 on Win7 7000, 7022, 704x and 7057… all work fine.
What exactly happens? Generally speaking, there are so such bugs in Win7 that would make this happen. It is probaly Windows Installer acting up but you need to send us more info.
-
are you getting the same message as above or? I though original post was just Win7 thinking something went wrong with installation and trying to be helpfup, as that file is actually not crucial to installation.
-
After setting additional install options and my chosen install directory I’m directed to click the Install button to begin installation.
It is once I do this I get a dialog box titled “Installer information” which reads:
Error reading from file
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\7zSD52D.tmp\setup.msi. Verify the file exists and that you can access it.Of course the temp directory is always different, but every time I make the attempt with the different installers setup.msi is always present and seems accessible.</username>
-
seems as if Windows Installer is borked… do you have PA 2009 or PA 2010 listed when you go to Programs? If so, maybe you need to use Windows Installer Cleaner utility to clean Windows Installer if you do have PA 2009/2010 listed there.
-
No, I haven’t had PA installed on Windows 7 Build 7057 at all. Neither PA 2009 or PA 2010 get far enough to install.
I’ll try to dig up this cleaner and run it anyway just to be safe.
-
when you run setup, and go to the temp folder, all the files are properly there? what happens if you copy them to another folder and run them manually from there?
-
When I navigate to that directory there are three files:
setup.exe
setup.ini
setup.msiCopying those files to a different directory and running the setup.exe results in the same order of events above except that the error message dialog states:
The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package.The error code is 2203.
Running setup.msi instead gives me the same error code 2203 message.
-
Gawd, I fixed it! Seems user SYSTEM didn’t have full control access to the temp directory.
Sorry for the wild goose chase. How it “lost” its privileges is beyond me, though.
Thanks for all the help, SPWolf!
-
:-)
i was just reading what the error means and was about to post to check that :P.
thanks, np.
-
Consider this one fixed…although after it did install I did get the dialog above that the OP posted, but I run into quite a few programs that do that upon installation.
I’m so glad I don’t have to go without PA. I rely on it so much to be able to open everything I don’t know how I’d get along without it.
-
yeah, dialogue above is basically just due to win7 build and should be fixed by them, it is just an glitch that doesnt affect anything…
by the time Win7 is released, PA is actually going to be tested by Win7 Q&A team against final build to make sure all of their issues are fixed.
