Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
Win 11 64 bit
I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
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.
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.
PA 22.00.09

Just for info, no issue installing PA 140602int on W10*64 TP B9841.
RAR instantly recognised and associated. Zip initially asked to select app, upon selecting PA icon changed, and it opened ok.Default Programs found 456 out of 459.
.img .iso .cab not selected which would be expected.Does not appear at this stage you need to do anything for comparability, alot better than some issues I recall when testing the then current PA on W7 pre release.

thanks… i have been running W10 myself and PA works perfectly on it and looks good too.
In general, they seem to have fixed a lot of small issues in W8 (not just design ones but actual bugs), but it still has some buggies… although nothing too huge.
-
Good that there are no major bugs on W8. I have only just got around to re-installing PA on my W8.1 *64 desktop. Indeed the PA GUI on W10 does look good. :) I esp like the more fluid motion when you hover from one icon to the other and one tab to the other. :)
-
I am thinking about installing W10 on my Encore… lets see how that goes :-)
-
anyone running latest build of Win10? They had some really breaking issues in previous ones, I had to take it out of both desktop and encore… last one i put back to Encore, it is not bad, but not perfect.
-
I’m using latest official preview. Build 10041. Did an install of latest PA from website, all installed ok. File associations applied once I selected it as default program. Preview window in explorer and Directory Opus showed up ok.
If I notice anything over next few days will keep you informed of my findings.

i got my tablet to 41 as well and it works well after few initial crashes. Gotta try Vivaldi on it :-).
they fixed most of my annoyances - apps on sd cards is doable now, wifi connection is easier to select, apps and programs are together in metro program add/remove… but there are still some rough edges and issues like tablet mode that removes taskbar pins and icons, and pin login does not work for me on tablet…
-
pretty happy with Win 10 tablet right now… at those prices, they should be able to sell loads of them.
