Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
Win 11 64 bit
I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
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.
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.
PA 22.00.09

Not able to open zip file
-
1. Write a java program to create a zip which does contains 1 or 2 files.
2. Compile and Run that program
3. Navigate to the folder where the zip has been created
4. Double click that newly created zip file. Now it will show the files which are in the zip file.
5. Double click that file which is inside that newly created zip file.
6. The file is not opening. -
could you provide a link to such a file?
-
Hi,
I do not have link to send that file. If I have your mail id then i can forward that zip file to you.

If it happens when zipping a single file then could you just attach an example ? (zip less than 100Kb is OK).

5. Double click that file which is inside that newly created zip file.
6. The file is not opening.What kind of file (fileextension) are you trying to extract from the zip file? You need to provide more information because “the file is not opening” isn’t saying anything.

Problem is in path storing… this was also reported to support.
You should not save path as C:… rather just save folder and not drive letter.

(so ignore characters left from first ).

I ignored the “”. but still i am not able to open the file. One thing i captured is, extracted path is different if i extract.
Previously i did not ignore the “”, on that, the extracted path will be different. For example, if the file is "C:\sample\one.zip, if i extract one.zip (if it contains 2.txt) it will create the folder named ‘2’ and it will put the 2.txt inside that folder ‘2’.
After ignore the “”, if i extract it creates folder called ‘one’ inside that we can find the file ‘2.txt’
Thanks and regards

How is the path stored in your zip file? When I looked in the zip file provided by Mili the path is stored like “C:\Export” but it should be stored like “Export”
After you have ignored the backslash “” is the path now “Export” in the zip file?
Kind Regards

When you are in the editor of writing a new message, there’s a small “paper clip” button to the right of the “Smilies” button. Click on the “paper clip” button to bring up a new Window, where you can upload the zip file.

I think you mis-understood spwolf.
He meant that if you need to open files from within the archive then your compression utility (java program) should NOT store the drive/root information as part of the path.So instead of storing as “C:\Export\2.txt” store it as “\Export\2.txt” or just “Export\2.txt”.

What the guy has produced is a zip file that pa can’t open but other archivers can. wso when will pa have a fix for these type of zip files
