PA 12.01.03 failing to open 7z archive.
-
I just installed Powerarchiver 2011 Pro last night and it cannot open 7z archives that I’ve downloaded in the past few days.
When I try to open one of them PA throws an error:“PowerArchiver cannot open this file. It does not appear to be a valid archive”
So I downloaded the 7z file manager and it has no problems opening the same files.
Strangely enough however, I used PA to create a 7z archive and PA has no problems opening that file.
Here is the link to one of the files that is failing:http://www.systemshock.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3099.0;attach=4476

Hello!
The attached link links to a forum where I do see some 7z files attached, I’m assuming some of those files are what you are referring to?
I’ve downloaded and tested
Vurt’s SS2 Flora Overhaul v01.7zI’ve tried to open/extract them with PA 2011 and it worked fine. Can you point me to a specific 7z file that doesn’t work for you?
I’ll give it a try with that one.Thanks!
-
Vurt’s SS2 Flora Overhaul v02 fails to open for me, try that one. I’ll try the v01 file.
EDIT: The file Vurt’s SS2 Flora Overhaul v01.7z does open just fine with PowerArchiver. Perhaps his 7z files are corrupted somehow.
-
Yep, same here.
I’ll log this one in and see what the dev team has to say. Looks like its something specific.
Thanks for reporting it!
-
Not a problem, thank you for looking into it, as I said the 7z File manager has no problems opening these files.

what version of 7z are you using? Our dll is latest official one, there “shouldnt” be any issues.
-
According to 7zip I’m using 7z 9.20 which I see is the same version of the DLL in my PowerArchiver directory
-
I just tried the beta 9.22 DLL 7z file but PA has the same problem with some of those files.
-
it is something weird, we will figure it out
-
No problem, take your time
-
it is rar archive, not 7z… rename extension to rar and it will work fine
-
Ah that explains it. That is a little strange as PA is usually pretty damn good at figuring out the actual format of the file regardless of it’s extension.
-
we will see what we can do about detection in this case…
