PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files

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.

Convert archive is incorrect for some WinRAR 5 archives

WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.

download the latest version of Nero BurningRom:
ftp://ftp7.us.nero.com/nero6606.exe

then try to extract it with PA via context menu: you’ll have no options to extract.

that exe is a RAR sfx file, compressed by 70%…you can see that using WinRAR, for example. and wr can extract it via its context menu.

open the exe with PowerArchiver, click Properties, and you’ll see PA can’t recognize the type of file, showing 0% compression.

however, when you have opened it with PA, you’ll be able to extract it.

this is a bug…isn’t it?

Hi,

I will download it and check it out. It should work fine (otherwise it is an issue of course), as long as you have all of the proper SFX options selected :-))))).

thanks,
