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.
Problem with My Clouds
-
When attempting to configure a “My Cloud” entry I have no issue with the dialog for naming the cloud entry. But no dialog appears for entering the userid and password information for “OneDrive”.
PA version is 2015 pro. Installed on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Am I doing something incorrect or does some supporting product like javascript need to be available on the Windows Server 2012?
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks Mark

Hello,
to we can not save login/password ourselves, we save it in browser and then call the token to login. So unless default browser supports that, it will not work. It is only way to get application/connection approved by cloud companies.
-
The connection did finally work. But upload to Clouds only uploaded 1 byte file. I see that it created a full sized zip file. Is there something I am missing.
Thanks,
Mark -
Can you tell us more - what cloud, from what part of PA, etc, etc. Every cloud has code for connection, and there are many ways you can upload a file through PA.
thanks!

Within “My Clouds” I setup a OneDrive connection. Then I created a backup job that utilized it. I watched the backup job running (creating the zip file). Upon the completion message box (for the job) I connected to OneDrive to find a one byte file (no content).
As a another test I then created a “My Clouds” setup for a “Google Drive” connection. Then created a backup job that utilized it. I watched this backup job creating the zip file. Once the completion message box (for the job) appeared I connected to “Google Drive” to verify the upload. The file was there with the expected content.
Another test not running thru PA I manually via Onedrive uploaded a zip file. Then verified that it had the expected content.
Thanks,

Markthank you for detailed report, we will be checking this very soon!

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the details. I have checked using the same scenario, by creating a OneDrive account then uploading a backup job to it, through the backup application.
Here is a screenshot of the uploaded Backup job showing properly in OneDrive.
Also, I used default .zip options to create the backup and upload it. Did you use any specific setting maybe?
-
I had selected “zip” as the compression type. I noticed from your screenshot that you are using the 2016 version. At least from the output file name. My tests were with the 2015 version. Would that make a difference?
Thanks.

Thanks.
Could you try 2016 and see if that works? I dont remember that we made any changes to this specifically between versions.
Thanks!
-
I am not at the site where the install is having an issue. Can I just download the 2016 version and test without a key to unlock the installed version?
-
I ran a test successfully with the 2016 version. This test was not at the site where the issue occurred with the 2015 version. I am attaching a screen shot that shows both the failed 2015 and successful 2016 runs (OneDrive screen).
Thanks!
-
can you test with PA 2016 on that specific site? Might be something with some setting as well.
If you email us your user info found in Help> About screen, I will tell you if you have free update to 2016. You can PM me as well but email to support at conexware dot come gets into ticketing system and next available person will help you out if I am stuck with Christmas, etc, etc. Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Today I returned to the site where the issue occurs. The issue occurs in the 2015 and 2016 versions. I have narrowed to issue to content in folders and sub folders. I have five high level folders that were selected. In testing I created a job that had only one of the folders. Which I ran for each of the five folders. What I found was that only two of the folders would create the issue (the other three uploaded clean). I am attaching a list of the contents of the two bad folders.
Had to split the file in half due to limitations.

Tested creating a backup with a similar folder/file structure.
Placed a few .doc, .pdf, .xls files in a few subfolders in
C:\Users\Public\TestPlaced the main folder in a backup and uploaded to onedrive, it uploaded properly it seems
can you verify that the created archive shows a larger(proper) size in windows explorer?
Also, what happens if you upload the same file to OneDrive manually? Through Clouds>Send to Cloud>Uploadscreenshot:

Sorry but I am not able to get to the site right now for further testing. I feel that it is not necessarily the directory structure. What about long file names (and special characters)? In answer to you question, I monitored the run and saw it create the zip file. Though it did go away after it thought it completed the upload (completion dialog and all). I also have another job setup (exactly the same 5 folders) but zip file is created locally (on the server) and not uploaded to “clouds”. It works as expected. The next time I get to the site I can test your suggestion.
Thanks. -
thanks for the info!
You mentioned;
@mslants:In answer to you question, I monitored the run and saw it create the zip file. Though it did go away after it thought it completed the upload (completion dialog and all).
Once you’re able to check it at the site, please check the local destination folder where the backup is supposed to be saved to make sure it is actually there and if it’s a proper file.(larger than 1mb).
I’ll also test with some of the long filenames from your sample.
Thanks!

I am certain that the local backup from a backup job not doing the “clouds” backup is working correctly. Is that what you are talking about? If not what folder would I look in for the temporary fie created from a “clouds” backup?
The “clouds” backup job with the bad folders creates only a 1 byte file in the cloud as can be seen in one of the prior screen shots.
Thanks. -

Thanks.The “use current folder as temp” is selected by default and that’s the location that it’s being uploaded from, unless that setting is changed in the Compression and Encryption section.
Same exact backup uploads OK to Google Drive but not to OneDrive?
When able to test, let us know the result of uploading the backup to onedrive manually, after it has been created.Also, if you can, please email us the pbs script you’re using to upload.
I’ll run the same script and have it upload to my OneDrive and maybe(hopefully) it will reproduce it.Thanks again for spending the time to help
-
sorry, forgot to mention that you can send the pbs(if possible) to support at conexware dot com
-
Will do what you ask next at the site. Yes, to your question on a successful upload to Google Drive with the same folder selection.
