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.
Rar problem
-
if you use the windows explorer shell extentions to open a rar file of aabout 13gb with powerarchiver it does seem to work checked the same file out with winrar and it opens it no problem from shell extentions. so it has to be a pa fault.

creating a 13 gig RAR to see what’s up.
further details would help
-
well in truth it was about 23 gbs but for testing i then went back to 13 and still had the problem as for my detauils here goes same as before used shell extensions to open the rar file with pa and the progress bar comes up but nothing. if you use winrar it opens the file and extarcts the file which pa was unable to do
-
am I out of the loop in regards to a previous issue?
What’s the problem?
are you extracting or opening via shell?
Which shell option are you using?
If extracting from main PA, how are you extracting it?at it works fine here
thanks :)

David…just curious to know roughly how long did it take you to create a 23 gig rar file please?
I only ask because I was testing similar example earlier today.Mike.
-
it ws already on a disk i had and i just tried to extarct it with pa and it failed

you need to find out more about that file… it is not because of the size… does it open when you doubleclick on it?
-
the probelm is still there some rar files open ok in winrar but not in pa winrar this its got something to do with there unrar.

you need to send us more info… “some rar files open ok in winrar but not in pa winrar” means really nothing.
Best would be to send us support email and upload the files to our ftp once we send you info via support. Without it, we can not do anything.
-
will truy and redig out the file when i have time.
-
Did you ever get it resolved? Same thing has started happening to me intermittently
-
not really though reformating my computer and reinstall windows 2000 solved the problem. I must thank pa for sticking by windows 2000 theybare a life saver
