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.

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:
