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.

Bug in repair zip archive
-
I corrupted a zip archive by simply using edit on my windows pc to delete a line of a zip header and then i ried to open it with pa and winzip and it failed. So i used the the pa repair zip archive on it and that said that 6 of the files in the archive were ok, and created a new archive . However the resulting archive opened ok but when i tried to extract or look at the files pa and winzip saied that the files were corrupt but the zip repair tool said they were ok.
Why is this.
Thought i’d check out this feature in more detail as i was interested in knowing if it did actually work and it seems it does not.
-
I’m not sure, as I didn’t write the software, but I can guess. The ‘repair zip’ function probably assumes that corruption wil involve changing bytes, not deleting them. Try again, but add a garbage byte for every good one you delete.
-
well what ever i do the program correctly identifies a corrupt zip archive but can not repair it iif you follow my first post about this. The progarm should identify the problem as it does and should not repair it if it can not but in this case it recreates the archive so you can look at it but not extract files from it. It should not say it could create a repair zip if it could not repair it so you can use it.
when will this be fixed.

Well, there is nothing really wrong here that I can see.
What happens is that PowerArchiver checks CRC of every file in the archive and recreates and file with files that have correct CRC so those files can be usable.
What you did is corrupt complete archive by saving it as ASCII while it is actually an binary file. You also deleted lines from the zip file as well .I dont think there is any possibility to save this kind of archive since it is now completly corrupted due to ASCII saving.
ZIP repair tool is not an magical tool, it will help in cases your zip file got corrupted due to bad media, and let you save rest of the files from the zip file. It certain cases it will not be able to help at all, but is certainly an good tool to have.
-
my point is if it can not help a zip file like the one i made then it should not say it can fix it, if it can’t. Thats the bug i’m reporting.
False reporting of a fixed zip archive when it is not fixed and can not be.
-
When I do exactly what you did, it shows me “corrupted” on single files and “Error fixing archives” error message at the end. Right?
-
yes however it created a reapir achive and in the repair windows beside all the files listed it said ok and created the archive. It should not have created an archive if the resulting archive was corrupt
