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.

CRC error w/split zip in PA 11.50.61
-
I just installed V11.50.61 and created a split zip file from one of my VMware image directories (about 32GB’s worth of files). The creation process went ok, but upon trying to unzip the file or perform a zip ‘test’ process using Winzip 11, I get a crc error part way in. Let me know what other info you may require.
TIA
-
does it work with PA?
-
Sorry, I should have been more clear. Not only do I get a crc error in Winzip when doing a ‘test’, I get a crc error with PA when trying to unzip it.
-
ok, and how did you create the zip file, what options did you use and what interface did you use (shell or main PA).
thanks!
-
I right-clicked from Explorer and selected “Compress with options…”. I then only changed ‘Multiple Disk Spanning’ to ‘DVD (4.7GB)’ leaving Method at Deflate and Compression at Normal.
When I test the zip file with Winzip, I get the following in a requester.
WinZip
Error in file #19: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): disk #3 offset: 365750754.
OK Help
When I try to unzip the file with PA, somewhere around the middle of the operation, I get an extremely wide requester with jumbled text displayed.
-
i tried the same and it worked fine, so it might be a bit more specific that just large file.
Can you create an screenshot of error in PA please?
-
Here is the pic.
-
does it compressing that file without splitting work?
-
Yes, compressing the directory contents without splitting works fine.
-
ok, let me try to reproduce it with 50 GB test case and lets see what happens.
thanks

can you try creating same archive, just via main PA window and see if that makes any difference please?
thanks!
-
Just tried it. Same problem.
-
Also, please try creating same archive without spanning feature. So we can see if whole - big archive is OK for the beginning.

@Activation:
same for me the zip does not work. it all makes PowerArchiver say unusable.
french version. (windows 7 64bits RC1 and WIndows vista 64bits SP2) I have two licence
That’s the beta phase reserved for the English and German.
we are left with a final unusable. awesome. just reinstall the older version 2009and more still no full version 64bits
on this point, the developer 7zip should be more talentedreally disappointed :mad:
you have to explain what exactly does not work.
-
I have the same problem with crc error in Russia version of PA 11.50.61.
Windows Vista 32bits SP2can you please tell us more on how are you creating these files. Is it spanning or?
-
can you try selecting and compressing only several of these files, maybe it is some specific file/filename that is causing it to happen and that could help us isolate the issue.
I have tested with 50 GB archive and all went well. So it has to be a bit more specific.
thank you!
-
I have more info, but no specifics that I feel confident will help.
I have tried zipping and splitting large sets of files, but none cause the problem except those from my VMware sets of files, and not all of those.
The problem appears to be related to zipping up large files that when finished, end up being near the end of the split boundary.
Example, I had eleven vm files that were all nearly 2GB in size. If I zipped them in dictionary name order, I could repeat the error, but if I renamed them and zipped in a different order, the problem did not exist. File name length seems to have nothing to do with the error.
Does any of this make any sense?

not really, but i will try creating VM files of same size and reproducing it like that :)
-
Sorry, I didn’t found an answer to one my question - does creating same ZIP archive with same files and size without spanning works fine?
-
Yes, creating a zip with the same files without spanning works fine.
-
Just fyi, the latest rc still has this same problem. ;)
-
would it be possible for us to download those original files? Only way we can reproduce it (and fix it).
Maybe try with less files but same folder (smaller file size) and see if that works or not, if we can get smaller sample it will be easier.
thanks
-
The file set is over 32GB, plus this is a VMware image that contains proprietary software. There is no way I could get it to you. I’ll try to come up with a repeatable scenario that causes the problem using smaller and different files, however the problem only seems to show up at the DVD sized split boundary.
-
See if you can reproduce the problem using the below steps.
Download http://www.bertel.de/software/rdfc/rdfc.zip
Unzip the rdfc.exe file and put it in a temporary directory with at least 37GB of space.
From the temporary directory, create the test files by running the following commands in order:
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.vmdk” 1818
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s001.vmdk” 2146304000
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s002.vmdk” 2145976320
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s003.vmdk” 2139947008
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s004.vmdk” 2141257728
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s005.vmdk” 2145583104
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s006.vmdk” 2138832896
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s007.vmdk” 2140471296
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s008.vmdk” 2137587712
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s009.vmdk” 2135818240
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s010.vmdk” 2144796672
rdfc “Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition-s011.vmdk” 2146172928
Highlight all the vmdk files, right-click and select parameters per the attached pic.I then open the .zip file in Winzip and perform a ‘Test’. I get a CRC error. If you unzip with PA, you should eventually get either a CRC error, an erroneous password prompt, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions.
-
extremly helpful, thanks a lot!
-
this issue has been fixed in next release :-)
-
and thanks a lot… huge help!
-
That is so great. That had to be a hard one to diagnose and fix I bet. Great job and many thanks!

going through 5 GB archives with hex editor = awesome :-)
-
You can re-download 11.60.12 from our website. Please check it out and see if this solved your issue.
We did not have a lot of time to test it out.Thanks!
-
Things are looking good. I tested two large directories that had problems before when zipped/split, but have no problems when zipped/split with the latest PA build. I’ll continue to keep a close watch on new zips going forward and let you know if I see a repeat of the problem.
Thanks!
-
awesome. I will keep this thread open just in case :).
thanks
