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 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.

PAFree - Installation / Setup
-
Just installed 11.63.11 to see what it is like :p
Install Configuration preselected Classic View - but it is described as Classic with Preview.
But the Preview is disabled in “Free Mode”.Shell extensions still allows selection of the burner options (although they do not appear in actual shell menus).
While not really bugs - these may cause some confusion to new users.
-
By the way - the Trial Pay “advert” doesn’t fit in the pane, lower line(s) of text missing unless it is really expanded !
-
send us screenshot of trialpay… thanks for the classic view with preview part, missed that one ;-).
and?
-
Seems to be a text formatting problem.
-
closing and starting it again… works now?
-
Not consistent.
On first display it may be OK but then displays wrong after a while. Problem can be “provoked” by resizing whole PA window (especially horizontally). -
yeah, noticed that myself… we will take an look while we are doing next update.

Can I download the PA 2010 v11.63 free version and use the existing PA 2010 Pro Key to update to PA 2010 Pro v11.63?

@Keith:

Hi Keith, mine did. I installed over the top of my existing version, and it recognised my licence. :)
Windows 10 *64 - Latest TP (Fast)

Is there a real reason to download & install the free version? When I’m already running the Latest Pro Version?
at least according to PA’S Web Update

there is slightly real reason ;-). Few minor things were updated.
Keep in mind that it will recognize license and also that it will also correctly web update to any future Pro version as well ;-).
-
Hi, may I know when do you plan to update the main download website with the latest 11.63 version? By the way, could you please make separate installers (Pro & Free)?
Thanks in advance.
-
you can use that version, it will work fine.
We plan to issue beta version of 11.xx official release.
why do you need separate installers? (just asking).
thanks!
-
Just because a practical matter; I mean, seeing the size of the previous “Pro only” version and comparing it with the size of the latest “all in one”, the difference is noticeable. But that’s not all because, why a determined user who only want the “free” version of your program, would wanna download the “Pro” version at the same time?
As with many others diverse programs, if you have a free “lite” alternative of the program, you should offer it just like that. At the same time, all the other people who knows the additional features included in the Pro version and wanna try them, will have to download just the trialware of that “Pro only” package.
This is similar to a hypothetical x86-x64 versions distribution: why a determined user with a x86 architecture and os, would want to download an “all in one” x86-x64 combined package or vice versa?
Of course there will be users that will not mind about all these, but I think regarding options, the more the better.
-
I think we will keep Free version as it is now - where it is easier to see Pro version features even in Free version. It is also helpful to us to maintain single executable.
-
(of course there will be always an Pro version with minimum size, even if that wont matter too much as next versions will have better web update that only downloads patches).
-
it should be fine now in .12 release.

So I guess “web update” is just - not yet :p
@TBGBe:By the way - the Trial Pay “advert” doesn’t fit in the pane, lower line(s) of text missing unless it is really expanded
Fixed.
@TBGBe:Install Configuration preselected Classic View - but it is described as Classic with Preview.
But the Preview is disabled in “Free Mode”.Shell extensions still allows selection of the burner options (although they do not appear in actual shell menus).
No change - but so minor probably not worth making code changes for.
