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!

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.

My powerarchiver crashes
-
Hey everyone. I need help. I run on windows 7. A few days ago i uninstalled internet explorer and since yesterday my powerarchiver keeps crashing. I can’t find a solution online. in the window that appears when powerarchiver crashes it says “powerarchiver has stopped working” and when i click on problem details it says application name - Ihd.exe , problem event - APPCRASH. If anyone knows how to fix this or if i can uninstall the program and still have no problem please get back to me. I appreciate it for your time reading this.

I believe Ihd.exe is a spyware application!! I suggest you scan your computer with antivirus & spyware and run a full system inspection.
Uninstalling Internet Explorer also is not advisable it can cause applications to hiccup!
I would advise that you reinstall it and try uninstalling PA and reinstalling it too!
-
Thank you Si
I would just like to know what is the PA you are talking about. please get back to me as soon as you can.I appreciate your advice
-
Sorry I use “PA” As short for PowerArchiver. And I am also refering to the latest version fo PowerArchiver 2010 available.
-
Sir Richard it appears you were right about the Ihd , it was infection, and I treated it. I shall try to download PA 2010. Will it be ok if I do not use the Internet explorer as my browser and have it uninstalled though?

If you wish to use another Browser such as Firefox etc then I don’t see it being a problem. However, I would advise that you still have Internet Explorer installed. You can have your alternative Browser set to be the Primary one to open for all applications wishing to use a Web Browser and extensions.
The reason why I advise to keep Internet Explorer is for system stability and security more than anything. You don’t have to keep it but from my experience it’s “advisable”.
I also suggest you run Registry Cleaner’s and Disk Cleaners a good application to use which is freeware would be CCleaner. Run the disk cleaner and a full registry clean then run another full Antivirus then reboot when all is clear. Follow the same process until all scans can’t find anything… Why?
Well, some Malicious applications have a backup command where when removed on reboot they reinstall. So the best way to ensure your as safe as possible is to keep scanning and ensure no new registry items or temp folders keep appearing for no reason.
I hope this helps.

Sir Richard you have been more than helpfull with your advices. I would like to thank you once again , and wish you only the best.
Best wishes
your friend from Greece -
you can block internet explorer from going on the internet via the proxoy settings. powerarchiver like so many softwares requies it to be present on your system
