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.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
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.

E-mail it… is not working...
-
The “Email it” feature is not working.
I test it using context menu in Explorer and within PowerArchiver.
I use OutlookExpress and WindowsXP SP2 (Portuguese).
-
What happens when you right click on file, send to> mail recipient, in Windows Explorer?
Also, under Internet Explorer> Tools> Programs> Email client. What is listed there?
It works fine with my outlook, and works fine when I changed my default client to my Outlook Express, so it has to be more specific than that.
thanks,

The send to>mail… is working;
-
My email client is Outlook Express;

When I try to email using PA just a window appears and it is minimized (it’s really fast) and that’s all…
I’ve already tried to install PA again.
-
-
Hm, can someone else test it as well so we can see if we can get more specifics on this?
thanks,

Hi,
I can confirm this issue.
- Create archive (for example, “arch.zip”)
- Right-click on this archive-> PA->e-mail it!
-
”…just a window appears and it is minimized (it’s really fast) and that’s all…”
I use The Bat! v3.0
!!! This doesn’t happen when e-mail client is running in the background (trey or minimized)
Hope this will help…
-
I’m using XP Home SP2, OE and it works OK for me. However, I do get the minimize to taskbar animation, but then the e-mail window does appear.
-
For those that it does not work - does it work when you use compress & email?

The same.
If e-mail client is running in the background (trey or minimized) it works fine.
But if I don’t launch e-mail application first,
it doesn’t work… -

For me, even if OutlookExpress is opened, the PA’s email feature does not work.
Compress & Email does not work either.

i’m using windows 98 se and thunderbid email client and it works for me.
It could be a windows xp issue

I can’t confirm this.
I checked this under Win98 SE (RUS) with Outlook Express
and it doesn’t work! -

I cannot confirm this. I’m using The Bat! v3.0.2.10 with PA v9.11.01 and Email It starts The Bat! with the file attached to a new message.

can everyone list all the open files on there computer, maybe its something conflicting with the email client . It orks for me i wuld suggest changing to thunerbird email client and then checking this feature as outlook express is bugggy and can cause this problem , which can affect the bat as well as several other eamil programs.
Have you tried this featuire in safe mode it might be a conflicting driver. I know this feature is faulty in ultimatezip so if your’ve installed it and uninstalled it, that might have left several things of your system that might be causing this.
though this feature is a bit slow, it still works. Some people are probably terminating the prossess cause thay think it is not work , just a thought.
-
I will be testing it for 9.2 with several different clients and OS’s - hopefully I will be able to reproduce it somehow. Can someone with the problem verify that they had uninstalled PowerArchiver, restarted and then installed 9.11?
thanks,

-
I exited almost all programs but the email feature didn’t work.
-
I have uninstalled and installed PA again but it didn’t work either.
-
-
No problem using Thunderbird. John
-
It works for me with Outlook and with Thurnderbird.
-
did everyone test this feature in safe mode as jsut exiting programs still leaves something int the memory
-
I have tested an email feature with another program (7zip) and t didn’t work too.
Something is wrong with the system, but what?
I have attached the list of all applications running (from Windows task manager).

I did. It doesn’t work in safe mode too…

The “Email it” feature is not working.

email client: Incredimaileverything works perfectly!

I have attached the list of all applications running (from Windows task manager).
I have suspected from the start that the problem might be in standard MAPI interface which is used in Windows for this purpose, it sometimes gets messed up but I have not checked on this in a while so I will need to do some checking and reading up. I will let you know when I have something.
thanks,

I’ve installed Thunderbird but it didn’t work either.
-
Just a note: email feature within ACDSee 7 is working…
-
PA 9.2 beta:
I still can’t send email…
-
-
Definetelly something specific with your system, bucause on most machines with most e-mail clients (Outook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Incredimail, …) work fine. Also on those systems that have problems some other utilities have same problems.
We can do more testing for version 9.5, but in the mean time, if you find out some specific reason why it doesn’t work, it would be very helpfull.

If I find something I’ll surely report it here.
