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.
Everyone should be allowed msi setup
-
windows setup msi should be avaliable to everyone.
The powerarchiver standard setup is rubbish compared to msi (windows) setup.
-
What’s wrong with the current Innosetup? WFM :)
-
windows setup msi can repair itself adn is more reliable
-
I respect your opinion.
However, reinstall a software is even easier and faster than MSI repair feature…
:cool:
-
what about InstallShield?
Its the best installer…but the actually one is good enough for me! -
Tee hee - War of the installers :D Won’t be long now before someone else suggests NSIS ;)
-
LOL!!
Wise Installation Wizard is good too! But im repeat: im happy with the actually one!
-
I absolutely can’t stand the Windows MSI installers, because they litter their crap on the hard drive and in the registry, use stupid uninstall registry entries that are all over the place (under HKCU? Under HKLM? How about both!)
And sometimes, they use non-standard shortcuts, which really drives me nuts. I like to be able to view and edit my shortcuts, thank you very much. I don’t like a shortcut which I can’t view the target on.
The crappy MSI installers often create startup entries that point to obscure folders, like “C:\WINDOWS\Installer{5FC4590C-1975-4F94-9A64-274F29BC9221}\Local\Installed\Binaries\fubar.exe”. Thanks, but I prefer “C:\Program Files\FUBAR\fubar.exe”.
And finally, they don’t uninstall cleanly. Use a good uninstaller utility, and you will see what I mean.

Youre propably right…i had a lot of anger with these Un/Installers!
I had to use TuneUp to clean my registry and disks after this unprecise and unclean installations!
This is a lot of work which dont had to be
