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.
Missing SPTD driver after PAVD install
-
I’m having an issue with SPTD option in PowerArchiver 2011. When I use the SPTD option and try to use the burner the drives are not detected even after installing PAVD. When I installed the PAVD driver from PA Burner, the StarPort Lite driver is installed but the SPTD driver failed to install. There is no sptd.sys driver in the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder. I’m running Windows 7 64-bit edition. When I try to run sptd.exe in the PowerArchiver folder it says not a valid Win32 application.
-
I have no trouble getting the VDs to load with the latest version (.59).
But I did have the following odd behavior.
If I unmount it from the shell, I get a message near the system tray saying that the VD was successfully uninstalled.
However, it still showed in my list of drives in Windows Explorer – even after a reboot.
If I open Burner and then tell it to uninstall the VD, all is fine.
-
with what version?

do you get some message during installation? only with final? we didnt change that part of PA in a long time, there should be nothing new happening with SPTD drivers.
-
I haven’t used PAVD for a long time, I waited until after final came out and then when I installed PAVD there was a warning message from Duplex Secure asking to install the driver and even when I click the Install button, the sptd.sys driver is still not installed to the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder and the SPTD option in the configuration causes the burner to not detect any drives. PAVD is a separate download from the main PA and is installed via PatchBeam when using Virtual Drive for the first time. The only workaround for this issue is to download the SPTD v1.78 driver from http://www.duplexsecure.com/en/downloads and install it manually. Can you bundle the PAVD driver with SPTD v1.78 in the next PAVD update on PatchBeam? SPTD v1.78 fixes BSODs during file copy on some systems.

I tried PAVD on 32-bit and it automatically installs SPTD 1.62 when I install PAVD but on 64-bit it fails to install SPTD and there is no installing SPTD 1.62 message on the screen during installation of PAVD as it does on 32-bit and thus the SPTD driver is missing on 64-bit. This is a 64-bit specific issue.

did you use sptd from their own site, and that works?
-
I didn’t use SPTD from their own site during this test for this issue on 64-bit. Can you reproduce the issue on the 64-bit issue. Uninstall PAVD if already installed, then uninstall SPTD with the standalone SPTD installer from its own website and reboot and then reinstall PAVD from the Virtual Drive link in PA Burner. When I install PAVD from the Virtual Drive link on 32-bit it automatically displays SPTD v1.62 setup and installs the SPTD driver just before the StarPort driver installation. The 64-bit OS is my main OS and the 32-bit OS is a guest OS on VirtualBox. I was testing 32-bit temporarily to see if the issue only occurs on 64-bit. I later installed SPTD v1.79 from its own site after this testing on 64-bit and it works. The sptd.exe file in the PowerArchiver folder in 32-bit OS is 860KB and has a DuplexSecure icon and then when I double-click it it shows the SPTD v1.62 setup screen with a button to install/update, uninstall, or cancel and the one in 64-bit OS is 512KB and only has plain Windows icon and when I double-click it it says invalid Win32 application. I then removed the 32-bit guest when this testing is completed.
