    PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Convert archive is incorrect for some WinRAR 5 archives
    W

    WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
    In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
    If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.

      Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit
      PowerArchiver v11.61.07
      4GB RAM
      AMD Phenom 9850

      “Exception EAccessViolation in module pastarter.exe at 000157C3. Access violation at address 004157C3 in module ‘pastarter.exe’. Read of address 00000000.”

      Happens a few seconds after pastarter.exe is started; I don’t actually do anything or queue anything up, I just turn it on via the Configuration menu. The memory addresses above remain constant – they don’t shift like they normally do.

      I don’t think it’s a system issue; I can do everything else with no problem. (Including running up to 14 instances of PowerArchiver compressing CD images.)

      Thanks!

        I’m running same operating system but can’t replicate the result.
        I am however using intel processor and not AMD….don’t know if that has any bearing on the problem.

        Windows 10 Pro x64
        Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz
        4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz
        NVIDIA GeForce GT 730

                  Thanks - we were able to reproduce the issue on 64bit Windows.

                  While dev team looks at it, try deleting the queue you have scheduled. You can go to HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Queue and delete the whole Queue key. Then try again and see if everything works. There has been something specific in that Queue that made PA crash under 64bit but not 32bit.
