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.
Power Archiver 2011 UAC on all files

Hello,
Having some trouble with PA 2011 where every single file I open in win7 is triggering UAC, for example, opening a file on the desktop. I have UAC elevation enabled, but I don’t think it should even matter in this case. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Update: This seems to be an issue like the previous poster where UAC prompts after starting the program in general. Running as administrator or compatibility mode in XP SP3 don’t have any effect. Have uninstalled/reinstalled a couple of times, no avail.

Hi,
here is the updated version, please let us know if it works fine:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/alpha120/powarc120202.exe -
Hello,
Performed an uninstall and reinstall, same issue. One indication I get that there will be trouble is that the shortcut itself created on the desktop has the win7 UAC checkered shield icon overlay indicating it will need permission to run (shortcut to “C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerArchiver\POWERARC.EXE”).
-
disable administrator mode?
-
(right click on the icon, Compatibility, uncheck run as administrator)
-
Sheesh, don’t know why I hadn’t tried that. The UAC prompting is now gone (except as it should be e.g. in Program Files folder). I’m not a power user of PA, not sure if it is odd that the default shortcut comes up with admin or if this is useful to most users.
Thanks for the prompt responses and assistance. You have saved me from resorting to the land of open source and neckbeards.

If I had to guess, you had legitimate problem like that other user, which we solved with this release i sent.
But you probably tried everything you can before that and left start as administrator turned on, as it is not there by default.
in any case, glad it is solved… thanks for being our user.
