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.
Power Arichver 2010 deployment
-
Hi!
We just bought around 2000 licences of Power Archiver 2010 and want to deploy it on every computer in our company.
My task is to make an installation script for the deployment.
First it seemed very easy cause of the msi file, but I’ve much truble to get our settings to PA after the installation.
I tryed to deploy the settings via registry keys and after some time of testing it now works except for a few things:1. When you first start the application it opens the “help” window. Is there a way to disable it?
2. On the first start there is a message saying PA is not associated with archives, but if you look at a archive it has the PA icon, the context menu is working and PA opens when you click on it. So I think the message is false, but is there a way to disable it?
The user shouldn’t be asked strange things when he first starts his computer after installation ;)The reg key “Associate with Zip files” is set to 1 and “Check for Zip association” to 0.
3. To configure wich filetyp should be associated, I used the reg key PA-Path\General\Associated Archives with the value 1101111111110111011111111111111011
If you click “yes” on the message I mentioned at “2.” this settings seems to be overwritten.
4. Can I disable the password manager with a reg key?
5. I used the reg key Pa-Path\AutoUpdate\Checkfor and Checkforupdates and set the value to 0, but the autoupdate is still enabled.
Is there a list of registry options with a discription?
Or maybe I’m doing it to complicated. Maybe there is a way to export configuration of PA and import it via command line or anything thats scriptable?I also had a look to the MSI to make a transform, but I never did this before so I was just confused by all this settings ^^
I hope someone can help me
