BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

[spwolf]

did you try reporting this to them? This seems to be the issue with their 64bit TC that just came out. Same PA works fine in their official release.

Keep in mind that this is first release of Delphi 64bit, so these issues will arise.

[PoooMukkel]

Yes, I reported this to them. But they said that it must be a shell extension which works not correctly. So they put me to ShellExView and I disabled all of the non-Microsoft extensions. Then I enabled them one by one and tested with TC.

[spwolf]

it worked fine in 7.65a, it works fine in Explorer… just doesnt work in their betas and new 64bit code :-).

[PoooMukkel]

Ok… That’s a fact… ;)

By the way I tested WinRAR and their shell extension works fine with the beta of TC.

I don’t know what to do now. I asked again in the forum from TC. Hopefully there will be a fix. :(

tell them it works fine in official release, just not in their new 64bit release, and that works fine in x64 Explorer.

[PoooMukkel]

Okay, I will try…

[spwolf]

anything?

[PoooMukkel]

Sorry for letting you wait…

I asked the support from Total Commander. TC is only using 1 function for shell extensions. The rest is made by Windows. So they are not able to help. :(

But they showed me some workarounds for the problem. One is to use the x86 version of TC. Then it will work. Or using the x86 shell extension from PowerArchiver should also work. But I don’t know how to use the x86 shell extensions because I don’t have the possibility to install x86 version of PA on x64 system.

May be you can do something in one of your next versions with the shell extensions? That would be great. :)

[spwolf]

did you have any luck with this?

[PoooMukkel]

No, I didn’t have. I’m waiting for another version of PowerArchiver. Hopefully the shell extensions will work then… ;)

[spwolf]

you can unregister x64 bit shell extensions, will that work?

[PoooMukkel]

What does that mean? And how can I do that?

[PoooMukkel]

I don’t know, how to unregister x64 shell extensions…

Installed PowerArchiver 2011 V12.10 but shell extensions still not work with Total Commander 8 Beta x64. :(

[spwolf]

Go to cmd.exe
and run:
regsvr32 /u PASHLEXT64.DLL

it will unregister 64bit shell extensions!

[PoooMukkel]

That does not work. There appears an error which I only have in German.

[Window Title]
RegSvr32

you need to navigate to PA folder first, or else specify the path before… like C:\program files (x86)\powerarchiver\pashlext64.dll

[PoooMukkel]

After that there are no shell extensions from PowerArchiver available although I checked the box in the settings. :(

[spwolf]

but you should have 32bit ones in TC? PA installs both x86 and x64 shell extensions.

[PoooMukkel]

No. There are no extensions from PA after that.

[spwolf]

run this:

%windir%\SysWOW64\explorer.exe /separate, /root, c:

do you see PA shell there now?
