    pacomp64 -parcz T:\BACKUP.PA C:\STUFF
    The contents of subdirectories of C:\STUFF isn’t getting backed up!
    The sub directories are just stored as empty directories!

    Question Regarding License
    S

    Hello @Mili,

    thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs.

    I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me:
    While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License.

    Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs?

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    PACL 9.0 Beta 2
    spwolfS

    Version:
    PACL 9.00 Beta 2

    What’s New since version PACL 7:

    Updated to PowerArchiver 2017 engine Fully unicode interface RAR v5 (v4) support PAE2 support

    Latest format support and all the various engine updates done in PA 2017.
    Full support for .PA format with many different options and switches.

    Download:
    http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE

    Due to the support of new PA format and all the changes needed for that support, we decided to move up version number to PACL 9. This is purely cosmetical - companies who purchased PACL8, have PACL9 now added to their orders. Users who have free upgrades for PACL8, now have PACL9 added as free upgrade (Business users with active select (pro/tbx), all personal users (pro/tbx).

    Since we are finalizing PA 2017, we can also now spend a lot more time on PACL9.

    Please check your bugs, and check .PA support as well.

    Thank you! @Alpha-Testers

    The PACL does not extract files from the self-extracting archive
    Michael72M

    My OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP3
    The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019]

    The program not extracts one self-extracting file.

    How to reproduce the problem

    Download the SFX file by link: install.exe
    Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located.
    Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive.
    If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter.
    Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides.
    Enter command:

    paext32 -o+ -p"install" "install.exe"

    As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no
    files will be extracted.

    The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file.
    This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program.

    PACompXX problem with file name syntax
    BigMikeB

    Hi,
    there’s a problem with PAComp and file names with a leading ".\ ".
    That’s nowadays a problem, since PowerShell auto complete will complete a file test.zip in the current directory to .\test.zip.

    0_1524826660985_pacomp.png

    The first command reports “All OK”, but test.7z is not created.
    The second command reports an error, but the error message isn’t helpful at all. VSS doesn’t help anything if a program fails to write to a file. It’s for reading locked files… And the problematic file isn’t mentioned at all. By the way, there’s a typo, it should be “open”, not “opet”.
    Only the third command (without ".\ ") works as expected.

    The problem exists in the x86 and x64 version, it doesn’t matter if the archive already exists (updating) or not (creating a new archive).

    PAConv.bat
    BigMikeB

    Hi,

    I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat:

    1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks
    2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later
    3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir
    4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time.
    5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks

    if (%1)==() goto help if (%2)==() goto help SET PATMPDIR=%TEMP%\$PATEMP$.%time::=% if exist "%PATMPDIR%" rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" mkdir "%PATMPDIR%" paext -e -d -p"%PATMPDIR%" "%~1" echo. pacomp -a -r -p -w "%~2" "%PATMPDIR%\*.*" echo. rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" SET PATMPDIR=

      I am trying to backup a folder with the following command in a batch file:

      PACOMP -u -r -p -o -xBackup.zip Backup.zip *

      but PACOMP stores the filenames with not just the relative paths from the current directory but the relative paths from the directory above ( … ) which I don’t want.

      Is this a bug or am I missing something.

            Hi Brian!
            I have tried recreate your problem, but for me it’s working as expected or maybe I’m not doing exactly the same as you are. Anyway, this is what I have tried.

            I’m in the folder C:\Programs\Test which have 3 subfolders. My bat file look like this:

            PACOMP -u -r -p -o -xBackup.zip Backup.zip *

            Saved as Backup.bat in folder C:\Programs\Test

            I then run the bat file from a CMD window in the folder C:\Programs\Test

            C:\Programs\Test>Backup.bat

C:\Programs\Test>PACOMP -u -r -p -o -xBackup.zip Backup.zip *

              …

              Thanks.

              But when you list the contents of the archive you created they are stored as, for example:

              Test\Amiga\Amiga XP x86.pdf

              Why would anyone want “Test” at the beginning?
              It wouldn’t be there is I’d used the GUI PowerArchiver and it’s does nothing except complicate the process of extracting the contents of the archive to any place I should want to extract it to.

                It looks like there is a bug in the parameter -p (store relative Pathnames), because it stores the current folder (in this case folder Test) in the path, but the correct one would be as the one in PA, who doesn’t store the current folder Test when using relative pathnames.

                When I list the contents of an archive created with PA the relative pathnames is correct.
