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.
WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.
Can't Install Beta3

Hello,
When I try to install beta3 msiexec crashes every time just after validating setup (see the image msiexec-error.png)
I unpacked powarc1150b3.exe and executed setup passing the /l*vx parameter to msiexec. The log is in the attached setup.7z
attachment_t_3705_1_setup.7z -
After I rebooted the computer the installation completed successfully.

good ol Windows Installer
