    • Question Regarding License

      S

      Hello @Mili,

      thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs.

      I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me:
      While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License.

      Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs?

      Thanks for your help in advance.

    • PACL 9.0 Beta 2

      spwolf

      Version:
      PACL 9.00 Beta 2

      What’s New since version PACL 7:

      Updated to PowerArchiver 2017 engine Fully unicode interface RAR v5 (v4) support PAE2 support

      Latest format support and all the various engine updates done in PA 2017.
      Full support for .PA format with many different options and switches.

      Download:
      http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE

      Due to the support of new PA format and all the changes needed for that support, we decided to move up version number to PACL 9. This is purely cosmetical - companies who purchased PACL8, have PACL9 now added to their orders. Users who have free upgrades for PACL8, now have PACL9 added as free upgrade (Business users with active select (pro/tbx), all personal users (pro/tbx).

      Since we are finalizing PA 2017, we can also now spend a lot more time on PACL9.

      Please check your bugs, and check .PA support as well.

      Thank you! @Alpha-Testers

    • The PACL does not extract files from the self-extracting archive

      Michael72

      My OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP3
      The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019]

      The program not extracts one self-extracting file.

      How to reproduce the problem

      Download the SFX file by link: install.exe
      Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located.
      Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive.
      If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter.
      Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides.
      Enter command:

      paext32 -o+ -p"install" "install.exe"

      As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no
      files will be extracted.

      The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file.
      This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program.

    • PACompXX problem with file name syntax

      BigMike

      Hi,
      there’s a problem with PAComp and file names with a leading ".\ ".
      That’s nowadays a problem, since PowerShell auto complete will complete a file test.zip in the current directory to .\test.zip.

      0_1524826660985_pacomp.png

      The first command reports “All OK”, but test.7z is not created.
      The second command reports an error, but the error message isn’t helpful at all. VSS doesn’t help anything if a program fails to write to a file. It’s for reading locked files… And the problematic file isn’t mentioned at all. By the way, there’s a typo, it should be “open”, not “opet”.
      Only the third command (without ".\ ") works as expected.

      The problem exists in the x86 and x64 version, it doesn’t matter if the archive already exists (updating) or not (creating a new archive).

    • PAConv.bat

      BigMike

      Hi,

      I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat:

      1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks
      2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later
      3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir
      4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time.
      5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks

      if (%1)==() goto help if (%2)==() goto help SET PATMPDIR=%TEMP%\$PATEMP$.%time::=% if exist "%PATMPDIR%" rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" mkdir "%PATMPDIR%" paext -e -d -p"%PATMPDIR%" "%~1" echo. pacomp -a -r -p -w "%~2" "%PATMPDIR%\*.*" echo. rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" SET PATMPDIR=

      I spent many hours trying to figure out how to use PACOMP to add about 50 Gb to a spanned 7z archive with AES256 encryption, and have yet to be successful.

      I’ve tried every combination of switches I can think of, with no success. Can someone offer a combination of switches that is known to work for this kind of task?

      All I have been able to make is a set of spanned files that PA cannot open.

    • Extracting password protected archive.

      Hi All

      I have archive that holds password protected, encrypted data which is created using something like this:

      C:\Temp\ZipTest>pacomp -a -spassword -fips -e2 archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest" -x"C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"

      Then I add regular file into that archive which is not encrypted and not password protected. “ReamMe.txt” sort of file. Using command below.

      C:\Temp\ZipTest>pacomp -a archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"

      Now when I extract this archive using:

      paext -spassword -p"C:\ZipTest\Temp" archive.zip

      Everything extracts correctly except for ReadMe.txt file. File is present but content is empty.
      I get following

      error: extracting: ReadMe.txt --> CRC ERROR! [100%]

      How can I extract archive without corruption ReadMe.txt file?

          I should have given you more information in my first post, so I’ll try to do that here.

          I have a batch script that includes the following command:

          pacomp -a -P -g -cz -ca -$“%TEMP%” -v%CHUNKSZ% -x@%EXCFILE% -l"%BULOG%\PA_%MON%%DAY%%TM%Log.txt" "%BUTEMP%%MON%%DAY%%TM%.7z" @"%SCRIPTPATH%%BULOG%%MON%%DAY%_%TM%.txt"

          The same command with the variables defined appears as (example):

          pacomp -a -P -g -cz -ca -$C:\WINDOWS\Temp -v100M -x@exclude.txt -l"BackupLogs\PA_12_03_0453PM_Log.txt" “Z:\BackupTemp\12_03_0453PM.7z” @C:\Users\User\Documents\SystemScripts\BackupLogs\12_03_0453PM.txt"

          During the testing of this command, I did not specify any encryption. The archive files were going to be encrypted by Windows native CIPHER (EFS), and then copied to another host using ROBOCOPY /EFSRAW.

          The @list argument at the end of the command line is a text file that is generated with other tools throughout the day. It’s essentially a file that contains a list of thousands of lines, each line a fully defined path name without quotes. For example, one entry in the list would be:

          C:\Users\User ABC From Unit 123\Documents\FileName.pdf

          I also tried:

          pacomp -a -P -v50M
          pacomp -a -v100M
          pacomp -c2 -P -v100M
          pacomp -a -P -g -v100M
          pacomp -a -P -g -c2 -e2 -v100M

          In each case, PACOMP would run for about twenty minutes, using all the CPU it could, then either terminate without any error, or produce a generic error that I didn’t write down and terminate. In every case, it never created any archive files. The only thing it created was most of the header of the log file.

          I then tried to use PA 2013 Pro to do the same thing to see if it would work. From the Home tab, I created a New archive with the following options:

          Type: 7-zip
          Action: Add
          Method: Optimize
          Compression: Maximum
          Encryption: AES 256
          Encrypt Filenames: Yes
          File Paths: Store Full Paths
          Include Subfolders: Yes
          Include System and Hidden Files: No
          Create Solid Archive: Yes
          Encrypt Archive: No
          Multiple Disk Spanning: Custom
          Volume Size: 100000
          VSCS: Smart

          I selected the same folders for archiving as was specified for PACOMP. The amount of data this represents is about 50 gigabytes. PA Pro ran for about an hour, and it produced 256 (.000-.255 - interesting coincidence, or is this a limit?) volumes and completed successfully. However, when I attempted to open the archive, PA Pro indicated that it could not open the file because it was invalid or something like that. Again, I didn’t write it down.

          This is from my memory, so it might not be perfectly accurate. If there’s any testing or diagnostic information you would like me to provide, just let me know.

          Oh, and I’m running this on Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit.
