I’m trying to backup the complete contents of a directory using:
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!
How do I achieve this ; show me a command line example !
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.
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 supportLatest 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

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:
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.

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).
would be nice to have czip support

I am Having Appcrash mid problem in my Pc.
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
Difference between the evaluation and the registered version of PACL 6.02

Hi!
I have now begin testing PACL 6.02. In one of the threads I asked what’s the difference between the evaluation and the registered version of PACL.Well, after testing 6.02 I can see now a clear difference between the evaluation and the registered version of PACL. This is exacly what I’ve been asking for. Now the user have a small limitation in the unregistered version but still able to test it and evaluate the functionality.
Here’s the results after these tests.

When running PACOMP without any parameters, there’s no remainder message saying the program is unregistered as the other programs have (i.e PAEXT, PASPAN, PAFIX, PAENCODE, PACRYPT). PACOMP should work the same as the others when no parameters are used.The file PACONV.bat says version 6.01, but it should say 6.02.
I get back with more results after I have tested my other reported issues.
Kind Regards
Micke -
thanks!!

so Micke… what else do you want improved/fixed in 6.02?

Hi!
@spwolf:so Micke… what else do you want improved/fixed in 6.02?
Well, in this thread PACOMP doesn’t behave like the others when using the 6.02 unregistred version, because there’s no remainder to register the program. So if you could fix the small thing with PACOMP in 6.02 that would be great.
From what I have read, you want one wish in each thread to keep tracking of them. When I use PACL I have these things I would like to be fixed/improved in priority
-
Remove many files from one archive in one command. This is something I would appreciate a lot and I have also describe why this is a problem with no support for it in this thread. I have tested in 6.02 but it’s not working properly yet.
-
Support for creating SFX archives using PACL. Today I’m dependent on PA to create SFX archive, but it would be great if I could create it directly when using PACL and also add a predefined path of where the archive is to be extracted to when the user open it. This has been discussed in this thread and in this thread to.
-
Support for \machinename\sharename when creating archives. Discussed in this thread and tested for 6.02 here.
Kind Regards

Point 3) is the real killer for me. If this can be fixed then I can replace my 4.01 version.
Cheers,
Badders -
Is there any news on a 6.03 with the above fixes?
-
we are adding one large feature to the zip engine, so as soon as this is done, we will be doing next release of PACL as well.
-
Any idea on timescales?
-
Once again, 4 months later, any idea on timescales now PA 2011 V12 is out?
-
Once again, 4 months later, any idea on timescales now PA 2011 V12 is out?
we will start looking Now at moving new features/code to PACL 6.x, from PA 12.x.
This includes FIPS, zip x509 decryption, VSS and more.
Yay!
-
That indeed is good news but would it be possible to produce an interim version with the issues already identified fixed?
-

this should not take a long time, we have to update engines to what we use in PA 12.xx for other issues/improvements.
-
OK - thanks for the update.
-
Hi again, any news on an update to PACL? Thanks
-
Here is updated PACL 7.00 BETA 1:

Thanks spwolf - I’ll give it a test this week.

please do - we didnt do much testing here, but there were huge changes in the compression engines.

MickePoint 3) doesn’t seem to work still. Is this intended to be fixed?
-
-
still logged in Badders, thanks for testing again!
-
I haven’t done too much unfortunately. Very busy at the moment. The time taken to compress seems a hell of a lot quicker though. :) I’ll try and do a time comparison shortly. Most of my archiving is for backup purposes using the \<machine>\ <share>syntax which worked in 4.01 but hasn’t worked since. I’m using 6.01 for any non-share archiving so will compare with 7 later.</share></machine>

“-PP” wow, looking good after initials tests:) Thanks for implementing this. I’ll give it a bash on my production boxes…

Hi!
Made som more tests with PACL 7.00 [May 11 2012] and noticed one small thing.When running PACOMP without any parameters, no remainder pop up to tell the user that the program is unregistred. However if I run the PACOMP with parameters and a file to create the remainder will pop up.
This is inconsistant behaviour as
PACLREG.exe
PACRYPT.exe
PAENCODE.exe
PAEXT.exe
PAFIX.exe
PASPAN.exeall have the pop up remainder to register the program when running it without any parameters.
It’s really not a big issue, just noticed that PACOMP don’t behave the same as the other program when running unregistred without any parameters.
Kind Regards
Micke
