      The contents of subdirectories of C:\STUFF isn’t getting backed up!

    • Question Regarding License

      S

      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.

    • PACL 9.0 Beta 2

      spwolf

      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 support

      Latest 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.

    • The PACL does not extract files from the self-extracting archive

      Michael72

      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:

      paext32 -o+ -p"install" "install.exe"

      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.

    • PACompXX problem with file name syntax

      BigMike

      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).

    • PAConv.bat

      BigMike

      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

      if (%1)==() goto help if (%2)==() goto help SET PATMPDIR=%TEMP%\$PATEMP$.%time::=% if exist "%PATMPDIR%" rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" mkdir "%PATMPDIR%" paext -e -d -p"%PATMPDIR%" "%~1" echo. pacomp -a -r -p -w "%~2" "%PATMPDIR%\*.*" echo. rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" SET PATMPDIR=

      I’ve tried every combination of switches I can think of, with no success. Can someone offer a combination of switches that is known to work for this kind of task?

      C:\Temp\ZipTest>pacomp -a archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"

      Now when I extract this archive using:

      paext -spassword -p"C:\ZipTest\Temp" archive.zip

      Everything extracts correctly except for ReadMe.txt file. File is present but content is empty.
      I get following

      hello,

      I just bought the software Power Archiver 2010 and am having some problem on the command line compression with PACOMP.

      Let me explain my problem, when I tested a compression zip, 7z, cab or other, no worries, everything works perfectly. By cons when I made a tar.gz compression, the software created the tar file, but when the compression with gzip, Seven gives me a message “PACOMP.exe has stopped working” with the details:

      Nom d’événement de problème: APPCRASH
      Nom de l’application: PACOMP.exe
      Version de l’application: 0.0.0.0

      Code de l’exception: c0000005
      Décalage de l’exception: 0002dd3e
      Version du système: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48
      Identificateur de paramètres régionaux: 1036
      Information supplémentaire n°1: e8ad
      Information supplémentaire n°2: e8adce1c2b9e7be834b4063ac3c53863
      Information supplémentaire n°3: e8ad
      Information supplémentaire n°4: e8adce1c2b9e7be834b4063ac3c53863

      To create the archive I use the command: pacomp-a-r-p-w archive.tar.gz archive

      Note that in its GUI, the tar.gz works very well.

      Would I forget something?

      Thank you

              Note:

              tar.bz2 compression works fine. The problem come directly from the gzip compression. I even try to create the tar file separately and then compress it as gzip. The tar file created correctly, but crashes at the time of gzip compression.

              I also test a direct compression with gzip a pdf file. Gzip compression is happening correctly. It blocks only when there is a tar file.

              That is, if it can help you advanced the problem.

              PS: Sorry for my English.
              Thank you.

                  I believe we need to do some more tests about this error to locate the cause of the problem and also see if someone else could recreate the error you got when using PACOMP.

                    If it helps, I also have winrar installed on the machine, and msys (which contains the tools tar and gzip (functional)). I’ve tested my computer by deleting the MSYS tools and such, I get the error message for PACOMP.

                    I doubt that will come into conflict with winrar.

                      The only difference between our versions of Win 7 is that I have the English Edition and you have the French Edition.

                      The question then is why is it working for me, but not for you. It would help if someone else could recreate this error.

                      I don’t think WinRAR would cause this kind of problem. However I’m sure eventually we will find the cause of this problem.
