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 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.

Support?
-
Hi again - just wondering if the preferred method to get support is in fact now the forums?
Just asking since I lodged a support request using the ‘Support Form’ at: http://www.powerarchiver.com/support/ and didn’t get a response from last week - and the ‘PowerArchiver Version’ drop down only goes as high as PA 2013 - making we wonder if it even makes sense to use the form at all as opposed to posting here on the forums…
-
Hi,
Normally support is quick, posting on forum’s can be faster just depends who online and the type of problem it is.
Try posting a thread on the forum of your problem/question as well. Either way, someone will get back to you.
-
I think he is having some trouble with support form, but it works fine for us here so not sure what the issue is… Steje responded to some other post where we tried to clear this.
In any case, even if for whatever reason support form does not work, you can always contact us directly via email at support at conexware dot com, or contact us page at the top of the site, forums, and live chat while we are in the office. There is also Facebook and Twitter although that might actually get slower response than all of the above.
You can also call us at 1-888-302-8800 toll free if you are in the USA and leave a message for call back at any time, if we are not in the office.
If anything, we are always around for the support!

Yeah, wolfs got it… it was based on some apparent breakage in the support form when I try to use it.
I just submitted another report now using Chrome. Before that, I’d been using an older version of Opera. Any sign of the new report coming in? I got the same response after clicking on submit:
Your report has been sent, and will be replied to as soon as possible!
Thanks!

can you simply send an email to support at conexware dot com?
Not sure whats wrong with the form, since it works for other people and me when i tested it, so thats pretty strange… but lets check if email works properly.
-
I will certainly use either the email or forums here in the future. I’m not complaining about a lack of support response or anything :-).
Please realize - I posted simply to ‘question’ if the support ‘Form’ was intended to be used anymore because I didn’t get a response and because the latest version in the list was quite old. The last part in particular happens sometimes when companies switch their support model at a point in time and neglect to update older links, etc…
And I only continued to try in case you wanted to figure out why it wasn’t working. But I’m content to just move on with life :-).

Hey Steje, we know you mean well :-).
Thats why I asked you to send email, please send it - it uses same support system. I want to check if that works for you.
We keep getting support emails via web form all the time, so it is weird that it does not work for you.
Thank you!
