W10 Pro 22H2 - 64 -bit
PA 22.00.06 (PA 2023)
It has been the case with previous versions of PowerArchiver, but I had hoped that the latest might behave differently. Not so, I’m afraid.
I have, for various obscure reasons, created a few .pa archives, mainly in the hope that they will save me some more space. From time to time, I use the “Test” option to check that important archives are OK and uncorrupted.
With every .pa archive I’ve tested, the process runs through OK but then reports that there are errors. This is always the number of files in the archive e.g. if 11 files, then 11 errors reported.
In the .pa, I can:-
preview the files (usually PDF) extract some or all files and look at or use them convert the .pa to a .zip or .zipx archive, which then works fine and tests without errorsIs it the case that the Test routine isn’t designed for .pa archives, or is there another reason? Although the .pa seems to function properly, despite the test reporting errors, I would like to be sure that every .pa is OK and not “broken”.
Some of the .pas are quite old and produced with earlier PA versions (they are truly “archives”). If I extract all the files in the old .pa, create a new, fresh .pa and add back the files to that, then test the new, no errors (at least in the .pa I’ve tried this on) are reported. This would suggest a mismatch between old .pas and newer versions of PA itself.

See the, supposedly, blank space where the green box is? It’s like that in Modern Light theme too. I can toggle it, but it’s missing text or shouldn’t be there I guess?
Thanks :)

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.

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. -
I installed powarc-macos20001.dmg and I am attempting to create a password protected zip file. When I create the zip in the UI it doesn’t write the file to the destination folder. No error message is displayed. The PA app has full folder permission. I’m new to Mac, but have been running PA on Windows for a long time.
Will there be a new version of the Mac version soon?

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Slow extraction from spanned RAR
-
35 parts (each 100MB) containing the total of 150 files (each about 23MB) divided into 10 folders.
In this situation, extracting 10 files from one of the folders is very slow. As soon as the progress windows appears, it is almost frozen. After a long while, the progress bar finally starts moving. When you think extraction is finished, the progress window is frozen again for a long time. The overall extraction time is very long. I tried WinRAR and 7-Zip, and PA is definitely taking a longer time.
Is anyone experiencing the same?

nice n fast here, anyone else?

I know from http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4363
That you have Win 7 (32 bit).
Does the rar also have unicode file/folder names?
Do you know what rar options were used to create it (e.g. solid etc)? -

Do you know what rar options were used to create it (e.g. solid etc)?No unicode. Solid, RAR version 2.9. No password or comment.
I am afraid that there are a lot of variables related to this. It might be hard to pin down what is going on.
Just bump this topic if you guys experienced similar things :)

can you upload archive to our ftp? if so, send us an email to support @ conexware . com refferencing this thread so we can send you the info.
It should be faster rather than slower… it might be something very particular that unrar.dll chokes on.
thanks

I think I found out what the problem is. It’s Microsoft Security Essentials.
http://www.microsoft.com/Security_essentials/default.aspxThis is reminiscent of the Kaspersky problem.
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4325
In my case, extraction is the problem. This is when a part of an archive is extracted from the main window. When the entire archive is extracted (from the main window or Explorer right-click), the problem is barely noticeable. Also, the severity of the problem depends on the size of an archive (not the size of files you choose to extract).Now, I think it’s natural that virus software checks extracted files. But the problem is, as I said above, it’s very particular when this happens in PA and, when it happens, PA’s progress windows hangs. WinRAR and 7-Zip don’t have such problem. I excluded extracted files’ extension and path from checking, but the same result.
Virus software really doesn’t like how PA does things, does it? :(

email them with example… they will then whitelist PA and it should work faster.
Kaspersky issue was very very different.
More people complain about things as this, it gets fixed sooner by AV companies.

AV companies fix incompatibilities quicky enough, they are worried about lawsuits - ie angle to take would be it effects only one program while competition works fine ;-)

Done.
Have you tried to send some kind of support mail to MS? Even filling a from is a pain :) I was going to try the forum, but it looks ugly and disorganized :p

all AV companies have emails that are very hard to find, i wonder why ;-).
It took me longer to find where to send complaint about Kaspersky and AVG then to write actual complaint ;-)

Just out of interest - is turning off “real time scanning” enough or is it more complicated?
-
Complete uninstallation is needed because many anti-virus programs put a driver deep in the kernel level.

thanks… lets see if they fix it soon… if they do not, then i will email them myself, and be rather mean about it ;-)

UPDATE:
I found a way around. Exclude the temporary directory specified in Configuration > Folders in the anti-virus program.
I don’t recommend using the default temp directory for this purpose because it’s also the system temp directory. Excluding it would expose your system to a great risk.
Of course, the best way is that MS will do something about it. After all, WinRAR and 7-Zip don’t need such tweaking.
