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.
How many times can I reactivate my install?

I’m dual booting Win7 and Vista 64. When I go into Win7 and use Power Archiver, it asks for registration so I register it and everything is good.
If I go to Vista and run PA, it asks to register it so I do and it’s all good. If I go back to Win7 and try and use Power Archiver it wants me to register again, and same thing if I register and go back to Vista.What I want to know is; how many times can I do this before my key is deactivated?
-
strange…I run a dual boot system also but once I register PA it all works fine.
Windows 10 Pro x64
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 -
What I did was install PA in Vista64, when I first installed Win7 I made a shortcut to the Vista64 installs’ exe.
-
install PA on both systems and register it on both systems…you can’t use a shortcut to it on another OS…it will always give you registration prompts if you do it that way.

I thought so, but didn’t want to lose the space, as I have to do that with only some programs.
Well how about my question though? How many times can I reactivate with my serial key before it gets black listed?
-
as far as I’m aware there is no limit…
but I’m sure the team here will verify that fact for you. -

million times at minimum :-)

although you should be able to register it properly the way you are doing it… are you sure it gets registered once you do it? there is no PA reason for it to reset every time you boot into other windows.

Yeah it gets registered. If I open PA back up it says it’s registered to me. If I go to Vista, it says it’s not registered. Which is weird as isn’t the registration stored in the registry?

how do you mean if you go to Vista?
-
if you have registered it at Vista, then thats it, it should work… if it does not, something is deleting the registry key.

install it on Vista64 in the same folder as it is on Win7.
I understand now - it will not work as registration is saved in Win7 registry and Vista64 is reading its own.
So if you want to save space, just install them both to the same folder and it will work fine.
What i dont understand is that it does not really need installation again - in Vista64 when nag screen pops up, you just had to enter registration code and it should have worked.

That’s what I thought. I’ll check again just to be sure.
Step 1: Boot to Win7.
Step 2: Open PA. It’s registered
Step 3: Boot to Vista
Step 4: Check to see if registered, if not then register it.
Step 5: Boot to Win7
Step 6: Open PA. Check for registration.I’ll report back in a bit
