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.
Powerarchiver hangs for 5-6 seconds when pressing the "Extract" button
-
Hello,
When I open an archive and press the “Extract” button, PowerArchiver just hangs for 5-6 seconds before showing me the file directory tree.
I tried changing the settings so it’ll always point to my “My Documents” settings, but this also causes the software to hang.It happens for every archive, regardless of size.
I’m using Windows 7 64Bit with PowerArchiver version 13.03.02Any ideas why this is happening?
-
Just tested it on a very slop computer and the extract dialog appears in a one second approximately.
Is there an Anti Virus application that may be slowing it down?
Or a network location that takes time to read upon opening the extract/browse dialog? -
I do have an anti-virus (NOD32) but I’ve switched it off; Still, it takes 5-6 seconds. I’m not connected to any network.
I tried installing different compression utilities, but the slowness seems to affect only PowerArchiver.
Is there some debug log I can look at / send you for analysis? -

did it work faster before? And if so, what happened in between?
Even AV shouldnt be slowing it down, there is no reason for it - but additionally, disabling AV wont actually disable AV, it continues working in the bg, you gotta uninstall it quickly and check (and of course install again).Try setting some simple folder to be default and see what happens then. Something like C:\test.

I completely uninstalled my anti-virus software and still no change, it take 3-4 seconds until I see my directory listing after pressing the “Extract” button.
As for your question whether this worked faster before, the answer is Yes. The only changes that I’ve made were these:
1. Reinstalled Windows 7 ultimate SP1, this time the 64bit version (my previous version was 32bit).
2. Installed a second hard drive so now I have 2 physical drives.I also don’t have a “weak” computer spec: Intel Core-i7 930 2966MHz with 4GB memory.
Any idea why this is happening?
Is there a debug feature I can turn on and send a debug log to identify the problem? I really like this software but this issue is driving me nuts. -
Hi,
I am sorry for your troubles - lets see what happens with Beta coming out next week and we will start troubleshooting from there.
thank you!

I’ve installed the latest BETA (version 14.00.17) and the issue persists.
How can I send you a debug log?
