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.
PAstarter problems

Hi,
installed latest version 1160rc3 and found that was unable to run backups, PAstarter locking up and having to close program via task manager.
Removed software and rebooted, checked that no files had been left over and carried out a fresh install.
PA runs Ok.
If I go to create a new backup, when i go to select Destination Media - My Computer - software locks up.Uninstalled and installed 1160rc2 - able to see My computer but not able to run a backup without locking up.
Uninstalled and installed 1150 all ok.

thanks!! Got it.

I thought mine locked up as well. Then I decided to wait. and wait. After a minute and a half the appropriate window for selecting files appeared!
Clearly a glitch. But it does work if you wait long enough,
-
‘Socrates’…it won’t work for me…it crashes and then gives me the error report and then closes PA immediately…it doesn’t give me an option to wait.
-
Sorry. It appears our cases are different. But both appear at the very same point in the process.

RC3 has been updated to fix this issue with backup, as well as one reported issue with starter… we also changed bahind the scenes way adding folders works in backup (looks the same, isnt), so Plato’s mentor can check that out too :).
Since we couldnt update pa.exe this is available only via download page so you need to re-download PA Preview from download pages and see if it works fine.

Downloaded the updated RC3 version and installed.Had to rewrite the backup scripts as the original scripts would not run.
New scripts run fine. No lock ups to report.
:)
Big Thankyou for a very fast fix.Jon (plattejo)
