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.
Pae problem
-
My pae file is corupted, it says wrong password but the password is the same. is there any way to recover my data? isn’t there a temp of the file somewhere?
-
There is no way to recover data from a pae.
Are you a 100% sure that your password is correct? -
damn…. i’m sure
cry cry cry to infinity -
unfortunately, since it is encrypted, recovery is impossible. Was it stored on CD/DVD?
-
nop
it’s on my laptop,
“error: the password is invalid” is what it saysany other way to open it?
-
can you try the version of pa you created the pae in please cas it could be the new version your using or an old version that has a creation bug in it
-

if encrypted file is corrupted, there is no way.
-
wouldnt it be a good idea once pa has created the pae to say if the files are ok in the pae
-

You’ll see if they “are ok” after decryption with a valid password.

There is a “test” button for that very purpose.
-
true but if a window came up saying all files have been encrypted with this password and they are ok it would confirm the encrytion has worked. How many people actually test an archive out after they created it?
Very few
if there was a problem with the archiver it can be addressed straight away.
-

Well I can’t speak for others but it’s something I do every time.
-
if the file was not created right, you would get an error.
-
true but what i was thinking that if ther was an end screen saing encryption ok and what password it would help people who input a password and need reminding. This will sort out any problems found if a person has actually used a differnt language keyboard layout at the time and not realised it.
