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 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.
Trying to extract encrypted PAE file from SFX
-
Trying to create an encrypted SFX file with extraction in current directory. Then test the executable extraction causes SFX to crash.
See Video.

PA version 11.61.07
-
I can confirm this in Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit…
screen-shots below give additional details…
-
Are you using the latest SFX?
http://www.powerarchiver.com/blog/2009/12/17/new-7zip-sfx-for-those-who-need-it/ -
great! Thanks! :)
-
this is for PAE i think…
-
Even after replacing the PASZIPSFX.DAT with the new version. I get that error.
Yes, i am trying to extract an encrypted PAE file that has been converted into a self extracting archive that has current directory selected so the user does not have to find a directory to store the files.
The current directory selection looks like where the error is.
If i don’t select that function and use the standard TEMP location it works fine.Thanks guys…
I love my PA… -
new sfx is for 7zip, so thats why ;-)… we logged it in, thank you for the report!

Please check if following pre-release fixes the issue:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc116202.exeand let us know… thank you!

error still occured for me in Windows 7.
-
Same here… Just converted OS to Win7. Still crashes.
version 11.62.03Unhandled exception at 0x776b8549 in New Text Document.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00090ffc.
Ok. This is what i have found if you create a real directory called “current Directory” in the execution location it will work by asking you the password.
It is looking like it thinks that the directory it needs is Current directory instead of getting the current directory and filling that variable.
The funny thing is in Ollydbg if you attach to the executable it will create the directory “Current directory” once you click decrypt.
It looks like it is taking it literally.Please check if following pre-release fixes the issue:

It looks like it is taking it literally.my mistake, it was not fixed in 11.62, there were some other sfx issues fixed so i thought this might be it without reading too much…

Issue was not fixed in 11.63.13.
