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.
Error: The password is incorrect
-
Using PA2010B2 I cannot open a zip file password protected made by a previous PA version.
The file opens regulary with PA2009.
Every time I try to enter password the same error: incorrect password. -

Every time I try to enter password the same error: incorrect password.I had this happen to me before. It was explained to me that unless you know the exact password, you will not be able to access the zip file.

-
The password is 8 characters long. Unfortunately the content of the file is too much confidential.
I’ll try to reproduce the error so maybe I can send you something. -
you should be able to reproduce it, try same/similar password with similar file (size, file type, filename).
that would help us a lot!
-
Also, is this file created with PA 2009 or some older version?

The file is dated 24/06/2007 so could be created with a version before the PA 2009.

can you please try reproducing it…. we have to reproduce it to fix it!

I too had several password protected zip files for which the latest beta would not extract when given the correct password. Reinstalling the last version (11/03/04) corrected the problem.
-
we fixed the issue - it was with encrypted archives created with PA 2007 and earlier… will be fixed in beta 3

Good! I wasn’t able to reproduce the error because I haven’t got anymore the old “right” version.

I also have an archive that opens with WinZip12, and which used to open in PA2009 (and PA2008). I have reproduced this problem in a sample archive and have attached it for inspection.
The passphrase is long:

Good answer – but that will be updated when? I have been limping along since April 1st by using an evaluation version of WinZip12.
Is version 11.50.37 not a production release?

Got it. I had apparently checked the beta and official auto update option. The splash screen for 2010 doesn’t say “beta” and the “about” version didn’t have any “beta” so I didn’t twig that it was beta. I do now see that the install package says “b2.” I have downgraded to the v9.
Thanks for the guidance.
