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.
Binary-files not added to archive
-
Hi all,
I wonder if this is only me or I am doing something wrong…
Since lately, I cannot add binary-files (exe and dll files, maybe others too) to a ZIP-archive using PowerArchiver. I’m using version 2015 but I have had this issues also with it’s predecessor PowerArchiver 2013. It doesn’t work via explorer’s context-menu nor does it work if I open an archive in PA and drag-and-drop such a file into an existing archive…
Using the Windows built-in functionality for creating ZIPs works flawlessly. Also using 7-ZIP I see no problems.
I’m running PA under a Windows 8.1.
Anybodey has any clue? Would be highly appreciated.
EDIT: is there any way to create a logfile or any debugging info??? At the moment, PA is completely useless to me… :(
Thanks in advance

No one…?:mad:

I just created a zipx file of a single .exe from the shell. Went without a hitch.
-
weird, never saw that before… you are doing it via shell?
What AV do you have? I wonder if it is some kind of interference.sorry, did not notice the thread… always good to email support at conexware dot com to get to ticket based system as well.

It behaves like this via explorer’s shell extension, but also if using PAs normal UI…

No special one - I’m using the Windows 8.1 builtin Windows Defender.
sorry, did not notice the thread… always good to email support at conexware dot com to get to ticket based system as well.
OK - just thought that one of the users here perhaps had a similar problem…
So again: is there any way of creating some kind of debug-info (logfile, eventlog or something like this)?
Thanks, Frank

Just attempted to create a new ZIPs with EXE’s and DLL’s inside, worked fine.
Also attempted to add EXE’s and DLL’s to existing ZIPs and that worked fine as well.What exactly happens when you attempt the same? What kind of an error do you get?
You can send us your zipped reg settings(save settings to file below config button) to support at conexware dot com and we can try with your settings. -
One more question - did you try using cab format or tar for instance and does the same thing happen?
-
What exactly happens when you attempt the same? What kind of an error do you get?
Nothing happens - this is weird… I get a “pling” system-sound and the file(s) are not added to the archive. No error or message at all is shown…
@Mili:You can send us your zipped reg settings(save settings to file below config button) to support at conexware dot com and we can try with your settings.
OK, will do that… thanks…

Hi franky13,
thanks for sending over the settings. tried with them and still worked fine.
As I replied in the support ticket, if possible, send over the files you are using and we will try with those exact files to attempt to reproduce.thanks!
