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!

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.

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.

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.
