Some strings are not translated in PA2023

[bugfix]

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.

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.

is it possible to send us that file? does it have long password? How many characters?

[bugfix]

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.

[spwolf]

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.

[spwolf]

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:

that was fixed in upcoming release as well :-)

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?

beta 2 you mean? its beta 2 :-). This bug was introduced in beta 2… so it will be fixed in next version.

thanks

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.

The bug is also present in beta 1.

there are two different bugs in the same thread, dont get me going on that… :)

[spwolf]

Please check beta 3 via web update or download page and let us know if this issue has been fixed… thank you!

[bugfix]

For the file that I couldn’t open, with B3 no more problems :-)
Thanks a lot.
