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

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).
New version:
PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.00.10:
Download:
https://u.powerarchiver.com/pa2023/powarc220010.exe
New build for some bug fixes and issues - full list to come with new update. Please test and see if you have any issues.
Thanks everyone for your assistance!
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!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
Win 11 64 bit
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?
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.
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.
PA 22.00.09
344c6c52-f03f-407b-ad76-8130b31936bb-image.png
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/

As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
PA 11.60.23 lost all my shell right click
-
Just noticed that all my right click shell options had disappeared. I had to uninstall PA and do a fresh install before I could get them back. Just a heads up in case anyone else has the same problem.
-
Ouch - I’ve lost my PowerArchiver shell extensions as well.
I am sure they were there with PA.11.60.20 and have disappeared with web update to PA.11.60.23.
I have tried toggling the enable shell option; I have modified the options to just use sub-menu but still missing.
Note: I do not know if they were present before I reset to default for the disk error message problem as I hadn’t tried shell after update. I have also rebooted a few times since the update.
I have not reinstalled (yet) in case any further checking is needed - can probably last a day or so without shell (but not longer) :p

Yep tried all that myself, nothing worked.
-
I didnt lose my ext. but they were non-functional after the update. I reinstalled it a second time (download from site) and got the functionality back.
-
Confirm all extensions lost here with release version.
Toggling the enable shell option failed here too.
Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

check the date on pashell.dll in your PA folder.
We actually were investingating something similar in RC versions, where it seemed as installer was not replacing shell dll if it was in use and it needed restart/reboot.
But when we actually tested against it, it seemed to be replacing dlls without restart, even when they were in use (which should happen with Restart Manager in Vista/Win7 but not in WinXP).
-
all of you restarted your computers after the update, right? Thanks :-)
-
No as never had to in the past; i.e. never (ever <g>) got a message box saying I had to.

what OS?
-
well maybe it was not the same issue i am assuming it is, although it seems so… lets see what terry says :-)
-
I didnt restart. I downloaded and installed on top of the existing and poof! All was well. Win7 Ultimate x86.
-
strange Marc…I tried that but encountered an installation error and it removed the installation files once again leaving me with my existing version.
I had to do a clean installation and all was fine. -

Yes first thing that I did when I noticed it, made no difference though.

Hello!
After I upgraded to v11.60.23(2010 final version) I saw that when I clicked on mouse right click the options(such as “Extract to…” and etc) are disappearing.
why that problem happen and how can I solve it?
Best Regards,
Yonatan -
try restarting your computer and see if that helps - if not, reinstall and it should work fine.
thanks!
-
it would also be very helpful to us if you let us know what is the date of pashell.dll in PA folder, before you do any of the above :-)

Catching up.
I don’t have pashell.dll (nor is pashlext.dll) in PA folder :eek:
Although that explains the problem of no shell, it doesn’t explain why the dll is missing - should I try re-install now or is there more info/checking needed.
-
yeah, repair installation…. XP SP3?
-
Repair installation also needed Win 7 32 bit RC (7100).

-
Repaired.
Shell Menu is back.
Yes, XP SP3 - I would have said if my signature was wrong ;-) -

Here is regressed installer:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1160final.exeplease someone try it out ASAP so we can roll this out… check if dll works after it and what date is it!
