Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.

pa-convert-zip-2.jpgUsing the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

Good morning,
I have been using all compression programs for over 20 years, I have always found Winrar very easy to use when I create a self-extracting archive, even 7-zip is simple, “right click” and “create self-extracting archive”, because on powerarchiver it must be like this confused ?
It doesn’t just create the archive, it opens a page where I have to select the file again, what kind of archive, which folder to create it, etc … you should learn from your competitors how to make life easier! -
Hi,
So refer this screenshot:
image_2020-12-30_115129.png
The properties panel that you see, is what I tried to compress, using PA, with following settigs:
Extreme Strong optimize
https://forums.powerarchiver.com/assets/uploads/files/1609079025475-image_2020-12-27_195344.pngThe process was stuck at 0% with no progress for over 8 Hours:
PA.png
Then the usual, clicking will make it go not responding.
So, I could not get the files compressed using PA.
I tried 7zip, and it worked, so that’s 1 issue.
PA shows incorrect original(before compression) size of total contents.
Refer the first screenshot.
folder’s size is shown correctly in 7ZIP
but not in powerarc.this happens with every archive, whether they are compressed in PA or not, whether it has only 1 file, or multiple files inside multiple directory.
Neither does the archive property panel shows original content’s size.

Hi,
So my rig is as below:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (Turbo 3.7GHz)
RAM: 16 Gigs DDR3
Samsung SSD 860 EVO
Windows 10 pro for workstations x64, freshly installed on 22nd Dec 2020, and updated.
PA freshly downloaded on same day, so it’s 2021 x.x.62 versionPA Stuck.png
Issue and reproduction:
If you start a compression, and if it’s mid way anywhere or even started, and you try to cancel it, the window will get stuck there, another click or key press will make the window not responding, then, and more will make windows to collect logs for crash, and the process will be terminated by windowsOn the other hand.
If the process is mid way, and if you try to pause it, the compression, CPU utilization, RAM usage will stay/increase as if the compression if still going on, the whole process will take it’s course, instead of doing what we clicked on.
So, both pause and cancel buttons are useless.

I recently installed PA 2021. But the PowerArchiver Starter, for my backups, keeps running at high CPU usage, I have to keep killing it, its running about 46% constantly.
I have Windows 10 Pro, 20H2, build 19042.662
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
-
Just installed 2021 v20.00.63
Now, when I add to queue, with or without using always use queue.
The powerarc starter opens up in notification bar.
and that’s it, no matter how many files I add to queue, no compression will start.
I also cannot double click or right click the icon.
If i end task for this, and disable queuing, compression works fine, just that I have to manually start individual tasks.
it’s quite ironic that you guys took whole year to fix one issue, in this versions, which completely broke the queuing feature.
Did you guys test it before releasing?

Hi,
You can obtain the original file from here:

Run the exe it will extract the installable drivers to C:\drivers
I tried to compress the whole folder using PA using following parameters:
Extreme, strong optimize.
image_2020-12-27_195344.pngThis resulted in negative compression.
However same file is compressed by 7zip alpha, with positive compression:
PA Negative compression.png
I understand that there are different algorithms, parameters used, and totally different software with unique sets of logics programmed, but see if compression algo can be optimized for such files.

Over the last few months, I’ve been trying to track down the cause of a hanging bug in PA.
I have found a reliable test case (on my computer at least).I am trying to extract the folders/files from: https://github.com/codereader/DarkRadiant/releases/download/2.9.0/windeps.7z
By selecting both folders, then dragging over to a Windows Explorer window on another HDD.
I’m not sure what causes this but this just doesn’t do anything, progress bar appears, but nothing happens.
PA shows about 5% CPU utilization and I’ve left this going all night and it never does anything.
It doesn’t always happen, but this morning this is reliably failing for me.
The folder I’m dragging to is under Git source control, but this also happens when dragging into other folders also, but not always, sometimes it works.If I do a regular extraction and use the dialog box to select the location to extract to, that always works.

I have just installed 2021, but seems to have similar issues to 2019. If you move the app between differen monitors (with different resolutions) the app does not automatically adjust accordingly, so on one monitor I have the app is too big for the screen, whereas on another monitor it only takes up a small fraction of the screen.
This was worse with 2019, where the fonts were totally screwed up, making the app unusable. This seems better in 2021, but still not working properly. -
Hi.
I have noticed after updating PowerArchiver through PatchBeam to 20.00.63, after the installer finished and I recheck for updates, it still tells me that I have version 20.00.62 installed and prompts to download 20.00.63 again.
This also happens when I install from the offline setup file powarc200063.exe ( https://powerarchiverdl.cachefly.net/2021/powarc200063.exe ). It still installs version 20.00.62 and the process goes over and over again.
Also, in PowerArchiver About screen I see version 20.00.62 but in Programs and Features in Windows 10, version 20.00.63 is displayed as being installed.
Can someone check and see if they experience similar behavior?
Thank you!
-
When I double click on a file within an archive the file gets temporarily extracted to being opened with the external program. When I now go back to the windows explorer and want to open another archive while the file from the first archive is still being extraceted, a new window of power archiver opens and immediatly closes. It opens and closes the new window repeatedly until the extraction of the file from the first archive is completed.
I use the option that power archiver opens a new tab when another archive is opened.
This happend with version 20.00.60. I wanted to update it to 20.00.63 as shown in the update window but it just updates to 20.00.62. It still shows that 20.00.63 is available but never seem to update to that version. The bug still exists though.
-
I have some large zip files (~ 40 MB) with a lot of html files. When I double click on one of them in the archive, it takes a long time (eg 20 sec) for the file to be extracted and opened in the browser.
I am using version 19.00.59.
I discovered that the root cause of the problem is that all the files in the archive are extracted to the temporary dir before the selected file is launched.
It does not appear to happen with other file types (such as pdf) nor when dragging a html file into the browser.
I think I recall this issue being raised by someone else, but could not find it.
-
On PowerArchiver 2021 (20.00.60) and windows 10, Both options in the windows explorer shell extension, “Compress to …zip” and “Compress to …zipx” create a .zipx file. ¿Its this intended?
-
My slow ring still reads as 19.00.59… will it ever offer an update to 2021 or is that something I must do manually?

Hello there,
I was installing-uninstalling and reinstalling PA 2021 due to another bug when I noticed a minor popup “bug” if it is considered a bug, regarding application association with recommended formats.
During PA installation you get to choose those options
Installation 1.pngI have ticked Associate PA with recommended formats
Installation completes and when you open PA the defult theme is Windows Ribbon.
When I changed it to Classic Theme, PA restarts for changes to take effect and then I get the below popup (Sorry I have a greek system)
It asks: Do you want PA to associate with recommended formats now?
Options: Associate for all users and Never show again.
Popup 2.pngI could swear that once I was changing themes and icons all the time to see which one I prefered and also toggling PA.exe to run as admin and windows compatibility mode and got this popup twice or tripple times.
Well this one does not bother me at all, I just posted it for the records if needed! -
If I the Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked, when double clicking inside archives on files supported by the internal viewer (PDF, JPEG etc.) they are opened in associated application rather than on a new tab in PA internal viewer, which is expected behavior.
Next, if the Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking on archives associated with PA in Explorer they are opened in new PA instance when there is another one already running, which is expected behavior.
But when Configuration > View > Standard > Disable Tabs option is checked AND Configuration > Miscellaneous > General > Reuse PA Windows is unchecked, when double clicking inside archives on archive files they are opened in the same instance of PA with no way to get back to the parent archive. I would expect, that when the user doesn’t want to use tabs AND want to use multiple PA instances, that in such case double clicking on archive located inside another archive, the second one would open in a new PA window. -
I’ve made the sections of the output bold to indicate where the typo is.

I’ve found a bug when extracting files from a 7ZIP file, specifically when you tell PowerArchiver to extract only some files and folders from it. This is where the bug exists. You can tell PowerArchiver to extract only certain files but then it proceeds to extract the whole file and not just what you wanted.
-
Sorry if I’m asking this in the wrong place.
Can Powerarchiver create images of entire drives (e.g. C: system drive) to create drive image backups?
Thanks,
Tim
Scheduled tasks stopped working
-
Running PA on Windows 2008 Server
Scheduled tasks
Tasks start on scheduled time
Then nothing happens. Status is running and thats it…Seems it doesn’t even start to build a file list…
When I run the backup task manually everything works perfect.
Already created new tasks and new pbs files. No change.
Any ideas?
-
what version of PA do you have running?
-
11.60.23… I saw right now that there is a new version.
Will an update solve my problem?
-
dont know, try it out and let us know…
did scheduled tasks work before? If so, did you change something before they stopped working? There has to be an reason.
-
I know. Did change nothing. After they stopped working updated PA.
All PBS files screwed up. Did some new ones. Strange behavior. Some say not scheduled in PA. I can see in Windows Scheduler that they are scheduled.
Anyway. PA starts the pbs files… Then stuck.I will update and try again. Why PBS Files never work after update of PA. Had that several times.
-
Still doesn’t work… I see all the tasks startet in time but not even one task is doing something.
Any ideas?
-
go to task scheduler, right click on the task and run it…. does it work then?
-
No it doesn’t
Tasks starts… does nothing…
-
but if you run same exact pbs manually it works fine?
(doubleclicking on it from explorer) -
Yes clicking from PA application works superb…!!
-
Yes clicking from PA application works superb…!!
then something has to be wrong with task scheduler side of things… check one of the schedules, maybe it is running under wrong user or something similar.
-
Already checked several times…!! Can’t it be that there is something wrong with the PA Schedule string?
User is domain admin. So it has to work…It it would run under wrong user it wouldn’t start or am I wrong there?
When I run the scheduled task even a tmp file is created but then nothing. No idea why…

did you try manually to schedule pbs starting? that might give us few answers.
-
Yes I did… no success either…
Put the whole string in cmd box… Error box comes up… The system cannot find the file specified… pbs will be emptied then… Has to do a pbs again… Think this is a bug…
-
cant you browse to the pbs? That will make sure it works properly…
-
Sure I can… in cmd box and explorer…
-
Sure I can… in cmd box and explorer…
dont confuse me :-). I mean in the task scheduler> New Task. Create new task and then browse to pbs script and set it up there, manually.
///
For command prompt you probably did not full path properly (which is not important, disregard command prompt).
-
Created new task. Gave the script to start. PA will be started and does nothing…
-
strange… i am trying to re-create similar situation and i cant.
i mean if it works manually, then it means backup works… but also if it tasks starts it means task scheduler works.
only thing that comes to my mind is possibility that user under which backup is running from scheduler might not have all the rights - can you check to make sure that it should be running under same user as you?
-
It does already. I start tasks as Domain admin… It worked for soo long absolutely great!!
After the PA update I had to do all pbs files new and since then everything is screwed…I hava also no idea…
-

this happened after you updated your PA? I mean you updated your PA after you reported the issue ;-).
-
if it started happening after an update to PA, try downgrading to older version of PA that worked fine? It does not make sense for it to work from explorer but not from scheduler, if it is PA related issue…
-
Can’t you do your own scheduler… :-) Had some time ago also problems with the windows scheduler…
-
OK… today something very stange happened… As always scheduler did start the PA. Stuck. Now I think I know why. It seems that in lates PA there is a problem with the path or something. Whenever I start pbs from PA now it says: The system cannot finde the specified file. Very strange. I try another path to the pbs files… Maybe that works…
-
OK… Didn’t work either… I am pretty sure it is something with PA. Other scheduled tasks work great. I use Windows 2008 Sp2… Maybe there is an issue with that.??
-
could you add admin rights to the scheduled task?
-
I had this problem when I tried to backup stuff from the program files folder. PA needed admin rights
-
Yes I did. Task is running as domain admin.
-
Did a complete uninstall. Installed latest version. Configured everything new.
Still not working. Like always. Task is starting and then… nothing happens…
-
sometimes admin does have access to all the files, thats certainly the case in vista (if files are owned by another user, and win server 2008 is based on vista).
Why dont you create simple pbs that compresses 1.txt file from C:\1\ folder for instance
and try running that through scheduler. See if that works.
-
Tried and didn’t work. Event tried another scheduler (VisualCron). Same behavior. Task starts and nothing happens…
-

well thats crazy ;-)
can you send us one of those pbs scripts, zipped to support @ conexware . com, and we will try it here.
-
Mail is out…
-
-
So what is the right command to put in scheduler
something like pabackup.exe /silent /…/blabla.pbs
right?
-
simply selecting an pbs file will work, without any refference to pabackup - thats the same way it works when you click on pbs in explorer.
What backup does is calls pabackup.exe with /silent switch (if so set).
However thing to note there is that you have to put “” around any long paths or else you will be getting that error (cant find script) that you are getting… so it should be:
“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABACKUP.EXE” /silent “C:\Users\user\Documents\Backups\Scripts\test.pbs”
-
thats what you can run from cmd line…
-
ok… I guess we are coming more near.
When I doubleclick a pbs a window flashes up, closes immediately and the pbs file looks like this…

-
so now doubleclicking on pbs does not work either? :-).
Maybe we should try everything from the start, to see what actually works or not, because it has been rollercoaster ride ;-)
-
Doubleclicking did never work.
Only thing worked is starting the pbs file from within the PA app. Doing my backups now like this.
Open PA, klick on pbs and then click on run. Works perfectly…!! -

Open PA, klick on pbs and then click on run. Works perfectly…!!thats very different ;-).
do you have different versions of PA installed?
-
its getting clearer now - when you say it works from inside PA, you mean via backup list, right?
-
As I said some posts above I did a complete uninstall and reinstall. So only one version installed.
Yes via backup list…
-
well PBS files dont seem to be properly registered with windows explorer. There are several possible reasons for this.
Did you try cmd line i suggested before? Did that work?
“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABACKUP.EXE” /silent “C:\Users\user\Documents\Backups\Scripts\test. pbs”
just replace it to proper path to your files.
-
(when you click on run on backup script in backup window, that is what PA does, it runs shell execute command, which is basically same thing as command line prompt).
-
Using in cmd seems to work now…
-
Using in cmd seems to work now…
it has to work, reason it didnt work was because of long paths and you probably did not use “”… but i figured that out before, problem was that I thought that you wrote how you tried it from explorer and it works :-)
anyway, now schedule an task using the same thing… it HAS to work… I will not accept no for an answer ;-)
-
Ok… This is going to be hard for you…
I swear when I use exactly the same string as working on my cmd it does not work in scheduler…!!
-
Another strange thing…
When is go to browse for PA in the scheduler it says that the path to the pbs file is not valid… But I changed the pbs files already to c:\PAscripts… How short can that be…
-
Another strange thing…

can you browse to it? not write it in but browse to it…
-
ok… Back after one week of illness…
Still doesn’t work. Sure I can browse to it…
Any new idea?
-
A small step further…
I made the file association between pbs files and PA again and now at least a double click on pbs file starts PA correctly and files are backuped.But start from scheduler still doesn’t work. PA gets started and does nothing.
-

check your task, make sure that backup it is starting is the right backup (that it points to proper file).
-
it should be something like this:
“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABACKUP.EXE” /silent “C:\Users\user\Documents\Backups\Scripts\test. pbs”
-
It does… :-(
-
try manually that in command prompt now
-
That worked as we checked already…
-
can we do this by chat or something? Would be faster. R U in skype or something?
-
OK next step I tried.
Wrote a batch. Thought if I can’t schedule the pbs maybe I can schedule a batch that starts the pbs.
–-------
@echo off
start “Sedi Backup” /MIN “C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABackup.exe” “/silent C:\PAscripts\sedi.pbs”
:endEnds up in an oleaut32.dll access violation. Does that help?
-
I did not catch those newer responses to the thread, this is what the command line is:
“C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PABACKUP.EXE” /silent “C:\Users\user\Documents\Backups\Scripts\test. pbs”If that works, then it works in batch file if you properly enter it.
-
Hey there… Can we get this thing working again please? I do backups manually every day now.
DoubleClick on pbs file starts backup properly. Still no chance at all to get it run in scheduler. Can we do this b telephone or remote whatsoever.
I want my scheduled backup to work again please…!!
-

did you try above?
-
I did… This does work. Starts PAbackup and starts to backup…
When I use the exact same in Scheduler pa starts but doesn’t backup… :-(
-
I did… This does work. Starts PAbackup and starts to backup…
When I use the exact same in Scheduler pa starts but doesn’t backup… :-(
well what happens when PA starts but does not backup?
did you try scheduling .bat file which works? Maybe that could be workaround… It still seems like something with permissions, because only difference between your running it like that and scheduler running it with same command, is the user that starts the process.
-
I use it with the same useraccout, domain administrator. I am telling in scheduler to run even if not logged on. Givin my user and pw of the domain admin.
Batch file doesn’t work either. Quits with an dll error.
-
P.S. It starts the task doing nothing just using 4.4 mb ram.

what dll error do you get? I need to check if tasks could be exported so you can send us task and we can see how it is scheduled.

Dll error see post 59…
Tell me what I can do and I will do…
-
Seems that it can be exportet… :)
Is an xml file which i gave the txt ending…
attachment_p_21476_0_nowijan-backup.txt -
any news?? :)
-
any news?? :)
i will be testing today and let you know what happens @ our computers with that script…
-
Great!! Thank you very much…!!
-
Can you check option “Run only when user is logged on” and let me know what happens then?
-
Ok we are getting close to it…
When I run it with user logged on option it fails with the following error: Task Scheduler failed to start “\nowijan.pbs” task for user “ritfs\Administrator”. Additional Data: Error Value: 2147943645.
Somehow the local admin machine account does not work.
But when I change the account info to domain admin account and the option user logged on the backup starts as normally.
Option run logged on or not with domain account does start the pabackup but the does nothing further. Behaves like dead. -
But when I change the account info to domain admin account and the option user logged on the backup starts as normally.
Option run logged on or not with domain account does start the pabackup but the does nothing further. Behaves like dead.what account do you use to work on that computer?
-
Domain admin
-
Domain admin
and what about other software that runs there - they use same domain admin account or local account?
-
Yes they do… I do everthing on this machine in domain admin account.
-
ok, lets try this - schedule new task manually through task scheduler and just pick pbs file that you want to schedule (so not pabackup.exe but .pbs). What happens then?
-
Tried already… but tried it again…
EXACTLY the same behavior. User logged on runs great.
User not logged on dead task… -
Tried already… but tried it again…
EXACTLY the same behavior. User logged on runs great.
User not logged on dead task…wait - so it runs completly fine with option user logged in?
-
Yes. Like it did before.
Option: Run only when user logged on - runs
Option: Run whether user is logged on or not - doesn’t run -
Yes. Like it did before.
Option: Run only when user logged on - runs
Option: Run whether user is logged on or not - doesn’t runso task scheduler cant schedule task unless user is logged on, that means something is wrong with task schedulers starting tasks as another user. I guess we need to google for solutions. I wonder if it might be some service that is disabled.
-
I will try something different. I hope I know where the problem is. I had a change in die admin password. I think the tasks stores the passwords locally. I guess task scheduler has a bug when passwords are changing.
So I will create a new backup user and create the jobs again. Hopefully that works…
-
Ok. Here we go again.
New User, completely new jobs, PAB starts… Does nothing…Going mad…!!
-
Ok… things are getting worse and worse.
Now the pbs files will be emptied when they don’t run correctly.
So for every test I have to create new pbs files.Any further help?

Ok… things are getting worse and worse.
Now the pbs files will be emptied when they don’t run correctly.
So for every test I have to create new pbs files.Any further help?
dont know what else… we could try having an special debug version of PowerArchiver Backup so we can go step by step and determine what could be the issue?

ok… so lets try this… if its helps you…
I thought I’d be clever and leave the user logged on.
PA Backup error message…
Access violation at address 77A58F1A in module oleaut32.dll. Read of address 0000047C -
OK… Tried on another server. Same issue. Seems to me that the scheduler functionality is broken. PAB starts does nothing…
Please send me asap the debug version. -

Please send me asap the debug version.i have spent an hour on Win2k3 Server trying to reproduce this…
How was PowerArchiver installed on the server? There has to be something specific in the way you are using something, as on whatever computer we try, it works fine. There has to be an reason.
Debug version can be ready within 10-15 days and it is quite pain to setup, there is no easy solution for that.

We had one german customer with similar complaint - it turned out permissions issue - it could not access remote drive when run from isolated account, but local folders worked fine… I am sure you tried compressing to local drives as we said before?
