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.
Password/encryption doesn't work?

I’m trying the trial version. I need to be able to send passworded zip files as .zip files to someone who knows the password, on both Windows and a Mac. I also don’t want anyone else who might use this computer to be able to open the passworded zip file without knowing the password. Therefore, I don’t want to use the PAE file type and I don’t want to enable the Password Manager.
But, when I try to encrypt the file with a password, it doesn’t ask me for a password when I try to open it and the zipped and supposedly encrypted file just opens as if it had no password. I’ve tried “Zip and options” from the context menu and unchecking Encrypt to PAE, whilst choosing Encryption > AES. I get asked to enter my password (twice) and it then zips it up, but I’m not asked for any password when opening the file. The same thing happens if I first zip the file from within PA, then try to separately encrypt it afterwards.
What, if anything, am I doing wrong please?
Also, if I want to zip a folder, how do I prevent it from creating a folder of the same name within the zipped folder (so as to avoid having to click twice)?
TIA
-
did you try to encrypt some real file or? I just checked it and it works fine - make sure you are not encrypting 0 byte file, which wont work (empty file).

you can always send us example file to support at conexware dot com and we will take an look

After creating the archive, you should either
- Close PA and re-open PA to check archive OR
- Verify the Option “Use same password for same session” is NOT active (as well as disabling Password Manager).

Yes, it was a real file (4 actually) that I was trying to zip and encrypt. I already had the settings as TBGBe suggested.
In the end, I uninstalled it, re-downloaded it and re-installed it and it now seems to work OK. So I guess I my initial download was somehow corrupt or something.
Sorry to have troubled you with it.

thanks for the update, closing the thread.
