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.
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
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.
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

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.

I’m looking forward to deploying PowerArchiver 2023 to my users. Can you tell us when the MSI will be available for download and distribution?
Thanks.
Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Hi,
From where I get PAVD2023.EXE? PowerArchiver 2023 tries to open it.
But it seems, it tries to download PAVD2021.EXE.
Thanks
I noticed that the version of ZPAQ used is older than the latest released 7.15 https://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html also there seems to be a newer fork that adds several features https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz
It would be useful to implement this latest version (it also maintains the same syntax and behavior as the latest official release if used the -715 flag) and add when opening a zpaq file a choice of the version of the files to show (e.g. as dummy folders represented the various versions present). Since any previous changes are stored with this format, it is possible to extract a snapshot of a certain date/version.
If I open a password-protected zipper file (created with WinRAR but I think that’s irrelevant), open it with PowerArchiver and run “Remove Encryption” on the same file, then reopen it and add a password with “Encrypt Archive,” the resulting archive will be protected with the old ZipCrypto algorithm and not AES as indicated.
(this can be verified, for example, by trying to open the archive files with Windows Explorer, which does not support the AES algorithm)
PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
Discovered:
a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.
Cannot Install Eval Version
-
I downloaded evaluation version several times after it did not work the first time, but had the same (non) results. Double-clicking on the powarc911.exe (either on the Windows desktop or inside a folder) causes it to do nothing. [Actually, it does make a Windows error-beep sound, but nothing else happens!]
Is my system too low in reqources? Using MS Windows 2000 Pro (5.00.2195 SP4) on an Intel Penium 4 CPU , 2 GHz, 512 KB RAM. (Free RAM XP Pro reports I have 259 MB of RAM free.) I do have McAFee Virus Shield enabled. What else could be the problem?
If you need additional information to diagnose this problem, please let me know what else I should let you know. All help will be much appreciated.
What a pity! This looked just like the thing I needed right now!

it should work i would suggest going into safe mode and trying to install the setup package if that fails wait for an answer from the experts. Do you use download software that can cause the program setup to get corrupt i suggest using download accelerater. (DAP) it works and does not cause a problem here. it caould also be a virus or something on your system is preventing that type of setup starting.

Silly question, do you have admin rights?

Hi,
It could be that:
- your download has been corrupted and you have been re-downloading bad but cached copy
- you dont have admin rights or your MCAFEE is blocking PA’s execution.
Assuming that you have admin rights and that McAfee is not causing problems, can you tell us what is exact size of powarc911.exe when you check it in Windows Explorer? You might want to redownload it by holding shift and then clicking on the link PLUS saving it as with different name.
thanks,
