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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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.
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

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.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
Lost functionality
-
i’m not sure what happened. I use to have burn options in my menus. now i can’t even figure out how to mount an iso.
i read the instructions it says to click the ‘burn’ tab, which of course doesn’t exist.
I’m starting to rethink things man, you guys are taking the basic functiionality and making it hard to use. it USE to be that i could right click any iso and mount it. now that was removed and i think you’d be hard pressed to give me a legit reason for it.
can someone please tell me how to mount/unmount and burn iso files i’ve paid for this software numerous times and it seems each time i do so i get less and less functionality. this thing is bloated now. i hope you havent lost your way.

“burn” and “mount iso” suggest this is about PowerArchiver and not PACL - so I’ve moved the thread ;)
These options should be present in the GUI, assuming you have the Pro version.
Can you clarify which version of PowerArchiver you are using (see Help / About PowerArchiver and give full version number)?
Also, are you using Classic or Modern Toolbars? -
Additional, check these screen shots against yours

do you have Standard or Pro license? Pro allows you to use Burner tools, and Standard does not… If you have Pro license, enter that registration code again.
Nothing has changed there since introduction of Burner features, so nobody lost any features here :)

jesus…. i’m an idiot. Somehow I missed downloading the pro version and got standard. I do have a pro license though.
so I downloaded the pro, installed it and of course everything is happy.
sorry about that, and thank you for the help. I appreciate you not being a little defensive due to my rudeness. I was just frustrated. I had to do a clean install, and my RAID had failed. lost over 8000 photos. So I was rebuilding my image when I posted this.
Thanks again.

Strange, my understanding is that it is the same software!
The only difference is the type of license you purchase.i.e. You download the “evaluation” software.
When you input your license, the relevant features are enabled.Perhaps, you had just forgotten to enter your license and “lost” the buttons after the evaluation period expired?
Anyway, glad it’s sorted for you now :D
-
it is the same :)… another possibility is that someone has both standard and pro licenses (a lot of people had standard and upgrade to pro), so if they use standard license, all pro features will disappear so not to nag/annoy these users :)
-
yeah I didn’t realize they were the same software install. What i did was have the wrong codes sent.
I had the option of 2010 standard, and pro, but didn’t notice that. i sent the codes for the standard:
