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.
Extraction error - cannot write to disk

Hi,
New to PA so would appreciate any help here. I opened a 4GB TAR file but am unable to extract the files to copy over to my laptop drive. It gets the same error some users have already reported, albeit slighly different situation - “Error writing to a file - disk full or because of permissions”. I can see the files when I open the .tar file in PA. However, just can’t extract or preview or anything for some reason. I’ve got plenty of disk space and I’m logged in as admin on win7. Any ideas how to fix this?Thanks!

Hi,
welcome to the board!
you are using the latest version of PA?
have you tried extracting to a different folder?
how are you extracting? have you tried different ways of extracting?
what is the size of the largest file inside the archive?thanks!
-
When that happens usually it is because (a) the user has not set up PA to run as an administrator, (b) the folder to which you are trying to extract the file is system protected (depends on general UA settings or another program running that blocks making changes to that folder), or © the person who created the file created it in a system protected environment that changes the attributes of said file.
-
If this is a permissions issue, just an reminder - in Windows Vista, 7 and 8.x, when you start a program, it does not run as admin (even if you are an admin)…you have to right click on program icon and select Run As Admin.

I am not 7 or 8 wizard, but it seems as if I can avoid the constant prompts if I (a) on the PA icon on my desktop, I right-click, choose “Properties,” “Advanced,” and then “Run as administrator.” If that does not work with some programs, (b) I can find the main program.exe, and after right clicking, and choosing “Properties,” and then “Security,” and changing permissions there. Finally ©, it seems to matter if I run the exe installing the program by right clicking and choosing “Run (the installation file) as an Administrator.” It appears that that selection gets inherited somehow by the program itself.
If this is rotten advice, please say so. I have stumbled across these trying to avoid unnecessary conflicts and dialogue boxes.

Thanks guys. Followed the advice from Socrates and seems to have fixed it. Weird thing is that I still get the error prompt but it now can extract and copy the file to my directory. Don’t know what’s prompting the error though. Appreciate the help!

The only problem is that you really only want to run something as with administrator privileges when you need to. On other occasions when you’re not expecting to need administrator privileges it’s safer not to have them.
