Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.

Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
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

What do you mean?

I am befuddled.
I explained precisely what the problem was: I cannot open multiple files within an archive at once. You claimed in any earlier that you could do it. Tell me how. No need to get snarky.
As for the other fellow’s comments, his point, I assume, is that if you are sloppy with your web site, then you are probably sloppy with your software.
I may give PA a run again some months down the road. At the moment, I think not. Having two lifetime licenses of PA it is bordering on the insane to pay WZ’s inflated price every year or so. However, I would rather have a reliable product . . . and I would rather have service from folks who are not quite so defensive.

you need to send us example archive and tell us what kind of editor you are opening your files with so we can try to do exactly what you are doing. Everything we tried worked. Other users tried it on forums and it worked for them as well. We have requested this last time as well.
How can we know what is your specific situation here?
We do our best here to communicate with our users, i think you are being unfair to us but hey you are customer so it is your right to do so. But if you have an problem, please try explaining it to us better. Currently all we have is “it doesnt work, I will check it next few months to see if it is fixed”.
p.s. as to the website, i think us not updating newsbit on static pages is silly complaint and completely irrelevant considering we are only compression utility that has forums, let alone blogs, twitter and facebook pages. Where else can you post your wishes publicly? where else can you talk to the developers?

also can you please open up new thread in bug reports section? I dont want to move these threads to it so people can follow this conversation as well.

Well I want to apologize :).
First of all sorry for being defensive. We love what we do and this is what we do.
I think both I and Terry tried sequentially opening the files (but still open at the same time) and it worked because this is what we are used to doing ourselves.
Now I see what you wanted to select 5 files and hit open to open them all right away, then edit them all and update them all at the same time.
This was never an feature in PA, we expect people to open them one by one and keep them open if needed. But I see that we also track only one file for editing <runs and=“” covers=“” his=“” head=“” in=“” shame=“”>.
I apologize for misunderstanding. I always try to look at it from perspective of how user is using software so I have failed miserably here :).
Lets see if we can fix and improve this quickly so you do not have to wait for “3-4 months” to check PA again!!!</runs>

This post is deleted! -
so this feature has been implemented in latest PA 2011 Alpha, and all seems to be functioning for now :-).
Let me know if you want to test it out before official release… thank you!
