AI Overview
Yes, that’s correct. UltimateZip was indeed a product of the same company that developed PowerArchiver, and it was essentially a rebranded version of PowerArchiver. It was discontinued and replaced by PowerArchiver.
Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue:

Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.

Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!

I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
Forum Asking A Third Time For Password

OK. You get a list of complaints.
I logged into powerarchiver.com. For some reason a separate login exists for the Forums. OK, perhaps one customer wants to allow his wife to log in under her own name? Kind of silly to place that support there upon you guys, but it it looks like you’re doing a wonderful job supporting that capability (or am I wrong?).
After I logged into the Forums once, I went to post a message within ten minutes. It asked me to log in a second time. Very odd for it to do that. That’s three times I logged in, all to post one message. (Not this message.) Three times to log in, two different passwords! A timed cookie works well for many web-sites. It does end up as a rather bothersome annoyance easily corrected.
I now must go back to what I was working on, find the file that PowerArchiver will not open and provide a link to it and ask questions there. No problem, but that comes under a new topic! See you in a moment under another topic.

forums do save cookies :-). I dont ever login unless i clear my cookies. It might be some antivirus or adware remove that deletes cookies or maybe some setting in IE or Firefox?

Hmmm. Thanks. Perhaps that’s the problem. I think I have the cookies set to one site, meaning cookies from another website could not get employed. I sometimes need to test that ability myself. And I believe I logged into conexware.com on the first try and the powerarchiver.com exists as another domain-name… so that explains that, almost. I still needed to log in twice to the same domain-name.
That anti-virus stuff I tend to keep out of the browsers and email software as it messes things up too much, but that’s a possibility too, as I upgraded the anti-virus recently and refused to upgrade to this version for a long time. Thanks for mentioning that.

oh, if you sent email to support, thats different account from forums. we keep them completly separate. Maybe that was the issue?

The conexware.com domain name and the powerarchiver.com domain name represent two different domain names and sometimes I configure the browser to handle cookies from the current domain only to test things. That’s all that I meant in the previous reply.
Two logins into the same domain-name were probably handled by time-expiring cookies. They cookies are probably set for ten or fifteen minutes and I probably took fifteen or twenty minutes to post a reply.
This happened a couple times already. For the most part I was able to recover my post well enough on the first try, but I waited too long on the second post and I lost the entire post completely.
Don’t know who’s programming that, I did not look at the HTML code underneath, so I don’t know what’s going on, if your using a GET or a POST (or something else?).

i dont think they are set to expire, honestly i dont remember when i had to login without clearing out cookies.

Testing things out with a different browser (Opera 9.64).
Going back to the article about About… Opera 9.64 provides the ability to copy and paste the browser version from the About… page to a new page. My apologies about jumping over to this topic with that topic. No need to reply here. Just wanted to notate that while testing Opera out here. Opera tends to work a little better than the other browser. I’ll let you guys know if I get timed out or whatever. I did not place a check mark into the “Remember me” check-box.
-
you probably have to tick remember me if you want it to … remember you :-).
if you dont tick it, it probably expires soon thinking you are on public terminal.
