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.
2012 Rar support
-
So am I wrong in saying that in order for rar support to work in 2012. You have to have winrar installed as well
Which is shareware so you have to have two compression utilities both of which are shareware that have to be payed for … unless you use the free version of PA of course
-
You are not wrong.
PowerArchiver (Conexware) does not have a license to distribute RAR compression, but can use it if you have WinRar installed on your computer.
-
You only need to install WinRAR’s application as a trial it does not need to be Shell enabled, start menu or desktop icons installed.
PowerArchiver utilises the “RAR.EXE” Container it is only this thats required as so to allow PowerArchiver to compress RAR formats.
But no purchase of Winrar is required.

What a load of rubbish!!
The WinRAR license agreement specifically requires you to purchase a license within 40 days of installing the software or to remove the software after 40 days if there is no intention of purchasing a license.
How does using another program to “run” WinRAR suddenly void the need to purchase a license?
Did you check you facts with WinRAR GmbH?

Whats up with being aggressive? RAR support is there because some members have expressed interest in getting it. Both WR and PA are lifetime upgrades with more than decade worth of users.
We have sold more than million licenses so far and I bet WR has sold a lot more. If people want to use RAR in PA they have to have it properly licensed and plenty of our users do, so this is good option for them.
-
I said no purchase is required “for trial basis”. Typically should a user wishes to use the latest version of rar and is something required then a purchase is nessasary.
My note was that you can have RAR on trial and if you are just interested in testing it with pa the user could remove all shell entries so rar does appear on other formats.
Its also possible users who already have rar but also have PA would like to know if they have to have both applications fully associated with all file types.
If a user wishes to use PA for everything including rar and they have purchased rar prior then this also helps them understand shell’s can be taken off and pa used as a primary application to compress and extract rar formats.
There is no need for such an aggresive response.
-
lets clarifi the rar support is there for users who wnat to use the powerarchiver interface and rar together.
You do indeed have to buy winrar in order to legally use rar files.
think of it like microsoft you get an operating system but you dont get a fully fleged word processor you have to buy it. Its the same principle.
If you dont want rar support dont buy winrar. In my opinion winrar interface is not as good as pa’s but rar format is worth getting and using.
The choice is yours.
-
I don’t think this is put exactly right.
As I understand it, you can legally open (and in that sense, use) RAR files with PA and without purchasing WINRAR.
However, you cannot legally create RAR files unless you purchase WINRAR. If you do, then you can create RAR files from within the RAR interface, or, if you wish, within the PA program.

Basically –
for creating rar’s, you need to have WR installed and abide by their license, which I think gives you 40 days trial.
for extracting rar’s, you can use PA only and dont need to have anything else installed (especially since PA has fastest rar extraction on the market).
-
Well, I’ve used winrar for the 40-day free trial offers for other products including, even wrote an email to support winrar and said that within 40 days can use your program in all its etensión even functions how to generate self-extracting executables and without legal risk.
