Will PA 2022 still support windows 10 as majority of people can’t upgrade and won’t till 2025

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
I’ve found a bug when trying to test an encrypted, 28-volume 7-zip archive of a 18.3 GB folder containing 41,751 files. The test fails, showing errors in all files.
Here’s the folder I compressed, and the 28 resulting files:Archives
Here’s the multi-volume compressed file opened in PA, showing the total file count and the full archive size:Opened in PowerArchiver
And here’s the test results screen after I click Actions -> Test…, showing an incorrect file count and archive size (this seems to be the file size of the first volume alone):Testing results
One important detail about the test screen above is that PA opens an UAC prompt asking for privileged execution before starting the test. Is this the expected behavior? It seems PA wouldn’t need higher execution privilege since everything it’s touching is owned by my own user.
In any case, granting or denying the UAC prompt results in the exact same screen.
Now, if instead of testing the archive I tell PA to extract the contents, the operation works fine (and with no UAC prompts):Extracting
With the Properties panel for both folders, the original and the extracted one, showing the exact same file count and total size:Extract results
I hope this helps. 🙂

Hi,
Currently on the 2021 20.00.55, updated, and licensed.
I have been facing this issue since 2019 version.
Queues don’t actually do anything
That I run powerarchiver starter as admin, or without admin.Then I queue some files, and most of the files take forever, to go from 1% to 2%
and let’s say if the 5th of total 10 files are stuck that should mean the other 4 should be completed, but no, the directories are just like that.
Using Queue feature makes the Powerarchiver to process and compress files, but the PA archives do no appear, neither the disk’s total used space changes.
However if I manually compress files without queuing, no matter if I run multiple compression or one by one, there’s always success.
sometimes compression is stuck at certain percentage for a 50 or 200 MB file, forever.
I want to speed up multiple compression, I find the batch compression feature useless, as I cannot configure any custom parameters or advanced option under PA archive format
So, Let me save parameters(Advanced Option) of Profiles
i) Either I should be able to customize PA Default profile, so I don’t have to select files and manually select profile, but not even single parameter can be saved
ii) Or I should be able to create a new profile and be able to set that as default.
It’s end of 2020 and I have been trying to reach Powerarchiver team to add this, but no one wants to listen or do anything.Refer case PA-FCW-TLNFM-096
I still cannot save parameters under advanced options like DDL/EXE filter to delta, or PNG PDF Filter, or set zlib to 9 or dictionary size or experimental stuff.
Soo many Revisions and versions released but I still cannot have a profile saved with whatever I want, be it existing or new profile.
Don’t you guys at Powerarchiver labs get frustrated everytime you have to configure these parameters manually?
When I stop an ongoing compression process, that is stuck or let’s say it’s not stuck but I click on cancel and then on No, it still continues compression for no reason.
If I start compression and pause, the progress bar shortly(progresses) reaches to completion, but no compression is done, and then archive is stuck forever
Just cancel itFor all my claims above I have sent ticket today with screenshots from my registered email.
if you can:
Batch archive is good idea, but if I have multiple directories inside directories, then I want first child directory to have all of it’s subdirectory compressed to that same first child directory
Example
I have a folder in D:\pics
that folder has following folder
Cats
Dogs
FishesEach of the above folder has sub folder:
Black
White
Fluffy
ColorfulI want those sub folders(black, white, colorful, fluffy) not to be compressed individually, but the cats, dogs and fishes folders to be compressed individually
-
The support doesn’t answer my email about a license question for weeks, because despite a lifetime license Powerarchiver refuses some functions

Dear PowerArchiver Team!
As I unfortunately found out, there is a big bug in Powerarchiver, which causes the compression rate to drop really significantly! I wonder if no one has noticed this yet? Are you guys still actively developing?
The following error occurs! (This is already as I find a blatant error!).ERROR:
File extensions and formats are not recognized automatically! If a file name e.g. Mütze.jpg is simply “renamed” in Mütze.txt, or
Mütze.png, Mütze.mp3, Mütze.pdf etc. each time a DIFFERENT compression algorithm is performed on the SAME FILE! Remember! The file extension was only renamed, so the file extension e.g. from .jpg to .txt is only by Rename changed! Just take a .jpg or .txt or .pdf file and change the file extension, you will see see this error! No headers are read automatically! Is this really wanted?Then the perfect compression algorithm can never be found and optimized by PowerArchiver? You should investigate this dramatic error once absolutely!Greetings from your trusty Konglomat!
Please stay healthy and make PowerArchiver more powerful than ever! I am looking forward to future updates! You are still awesome! Please keep up the good work! I love PowerArchiver, really more than just about anything!And will probably buy and use it for eternity!

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

Hi,
I thought, I’ll give it a try and upgrade my PA 2018 Toolbox on my production machine to PA 2021 (20.10.03)
Sending registration codes in your order recovery doesn’t seem to work at the moment (I also checked my junk folder), online activation works Using registry to disable modules (for example HKLM\SOFTWARE\PowerArchiverInt\General\DisableBurning) doesn’t work as expected with modern ui. The module is visible, but I’ll get the trial nag, if I try to open it. It’s almost fine in classic and ribbon mode.7989017c-3cd2-4a99-a1f6-06ce62329dec-image.png
“DisableClouds” and “DisableExplorer” seem not to be respected at all, while the classic UI seems to respect the setting to disable any other unused module:
In settings I won’t be able to access the SmartAI settings and the settings for the internal editor if the FTP module is disabled

Hi! I came across an issue when I tried to uninstall PowerArch 2013. I got an error “The specified account already exists” which broke the process. I got the same error when I tried to install the current version, without uninstalling the previous one.
So I can’t uninstall and I can’t install PowerArchiver. Any suggestions? OS Windows 8.1 x64.Dariusz

When viewing a zip archive with .TGA image files (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truevision_TGA) the file preview shows Unknown Picture File Extension (.tga).
Seems strange that such an old image file format is not supported. -
Hi,
I’m using Convert Archives on a local folder of .zip files, converting them to .lzh files, and I’m finding that perhaps 1 in 75 files is actually converting and outputting a file. Even then, the .lzh file is incomplete, missing most of the source files.
The progress bars completes OK, say 75/75 files, but only one .lzh file exists in the output folder.
It seems to be the same with different source and output folders on both local and USB disk - I can’t see a pattern.
The files extract and compress (to .lzh) without issue on their own.
Is there a log file I can check please, to see why PA does not like these files as part of the batch conversion?
Thanks very much, Rich.

Hello. My problem with Powerarchiver is as follows:
First of let me say that I am running a Windows 7 Starter edition on my Toshiba NB505 laptop. You can see my specs if you google it. Needless to say that it has very limited resources and has low ram and roughly 1.66 GHz Atom processor.I am currently using the latest version of PA. But mostly the tasks I do with it are create and uncompress zip files, as this comes in handy with my needs for compressing older files which I dont need. There is where it comes my issue with program and it is just that version after version it becomes harder for my computer to load and create zip files and 7zip ones. Needless to say that the same goes for zipx.
I have been using PA for a decade and its a good program but it is just that the current version has things which I don’t need or seldom use it, such as the preview file panel, and also the explorer tabs, skin customization and the nagging conexware update tool. Thus I was just asking, Does it exist a minimalistic version of PA or perhaps some ultra light version of it?. Something which it can be run on older computers.
Please don’t say to install an older version or going back to 2003, as well, this is not what I had in mind. I know that I could use the command line version but for me usng a GUI is more convenient. Regsrding compression speeds, I mostly use deflate for legacy zip files on the fast setting.
So far what I am doing is to set PA to use the classic skin windows view and while it does alleviate some of the lagging symptoms it doesn’t really seem to make the program to run or load faster.
Any help or advice on my problem?. By the way, I use the PRO version as that’s my current license. By the way, does PA has any pdf user’s manual or reference book? I see there are changes and numerous functionality that has been added but I have no clue on how to use it. I hope somebody could help me with that as well.

Converting an archive to .zip (using both the “Deflate (.zip, compatible)” and “Store” compression methods) always creates a .zipx file instead.
pa-convert-zip-1.jpg
pa-convert-zip-2.jpgUsing the “Store” method sometimes creates a .zip file; I have seen it happen just now, but I cannot reproduce it.

Re: Using the Queue Feature affects Compression Ratio negatively
I’m sorry if the dev team is affected by pandemic, and if anyways that is affecting their quality to provide quality software.
But honestly, it’s been an year I have been complaining about the queue feature, it is taking them ages to fix.
referencing the above bug, I have been waiting patiently, but the bug isn’t fixed at all.
The old queuing bug where PA gets stuck randomly, isn’t fixed either.
The Bug where you keep 10-15 files in queue at once, will cause the software to miss few in queue.
and sometimes it would compress into a corrupt archive, so you have to manually open each archive and make sure everything is there as expected.
There’s way too many bugs, and I see none getting fixed.
I’m disappointed with this software.
I should have sticked to 7zip or given a shot to other archivers than this, at least they don’t provide update once in 4 months and fix nothing.

Hi guys,
I have some mistakes today with PowerArchiver Installation with GPO.
I checked permissions of the share folder and I already installed some app from this.
I have downloaded 32b and 64b it’s the same problem.
App is on the install list of the GPO, but don’t install on the client. All app can be install but only powerachiver not. What the hell !So i tried :
Checked : security of share folder --> ok (install of other app ok!)
RSOP checked --> nothing special
(obviously force GPO, multiple reboot)Can you help me please ?

Cannot restore from a backup
-
I am running PA 16.00.56 (01/2016).
I have not had much need to restore from backups, but recently I did, I needed to restore a VM. Part way through, I got a message about a CRC error on a file., and if I continue the VM will not load. The original VM loads ok. Today, I made sure the VM was closed in case that caused a problem, ran the backups, and tried to restore, again got a CRC error, and attempts load generate a dictionary problem.
I have gone back and repeated this on 3 or 4 previous backups with the same result.
I checked the logs from today’s backup, could not see any errors.
So I have no backups???
Any ideas???
-
I have checked the host driver for errors, all ok.
-
I can copy the VM to another directory and it loads ok.
None of my VMs with Win 10 as the guest will reload from backup. Win 7 VMs work ok.

what VM software? I know vmware asks when open up vm from backup if you moved it (from other computer) or copied it (from same computer).
-
VMWare Workstation 12 Player … but it is not getting to there, each time I use PA to backup a VM that is working, then try to restore it I get CRC errors.

VMWare Workstation 12 Player … but it is not getting to there, each time I use PA to backup a VM that is working, then try to restore it I get CRC errors.
its running during backup? You should try forcing VSS for those files. I am not sure what kind of exclusive access mode is VMP using when running, but it might doing some tricky stuff thats preventing proper access (however it should work with VSS option).
-
See my post above " Today, I made sure the VM was closed "
-
See my post above " Today, I made sure the VM was closed "
i saw both posts, so what does “that is running” refers to? I will have to test it on our lab computer, I dont have Win10 right now only older OSs like Win7, Xp… even 98SE (in VMware)
-
“That is running”? Sorry, I cannot see that.
-
“That is running”? Sorry, I cannot see that.
sorry, it says “that is working” not running, I figured out thats what you meant… did you mean simply a VM that works properly when run?
-
Yep, I can load from the original and it “works”.
I have taken the external drive out of it, I used PA to back up a Win 10 VM guest (VM not running) to my HDD, then restored to another directory, CRC error.
The file that gives the error varies from restore to restore.

I would offer to ftp the files … but is 50gigs

but win7 VM works fine? What is the size of those? Also, what format did you use in backup?
-
Ok, a bit of progress. This time, to restore, I used File Explorer, ie Windows, rather tha PA … and it worked !!! I feel a bit happier, I have backups again!!!
Yep, restoring of Win 7 guest VMs work, I have restored them before, this was the first Win 10 - only been using Win VMs for a few months.
Win 10 VM (size on host) is 53.6G, Win 7 is 86.2G
Format? All defaults I think, it says Format ZIP (recommended) Backup Type Normal, Method Deflate, Compression Fast, Use current folder as temp is selected, Spanning No

interesting… everything works fine with the backup?
-
From memory, the dialog said backup completed ok, I looked through the logs, couldn’t see anything, searched for “error”, nothing.
If I can restore with Explorer, doesn’t that mean the backup is ok?
And the one that started it all, normal weekly backup to an external hard drive, that kept coming up with crc errors … just restored it ok with explorer, VM loads it ok.

if VM loads it ok, then it is fine.

There is a file Development.vmsd (Development is the name of the VM). Using Explorer it shows in the zip as 0 bytes. It restores ok as zero bytes. Using PA, it shows zero in the ZIP. Attempting to restore generates a crc and a file with 467KB. If an attempt is made to restore that file and it already exists, the warning says it is 4,294,967,295 bytes … hhmmm where do I know that number from? :)

Win 7 VMs do not seem to have zero length files, at least none of mine seem to, but Win 10 VMs do … and that seems to be the problem in PA.
Also, try opening up a zip file in PA, drill down a few directories, then keep clicking the up arrow to go to the parent directory … one too many and PA hangs.

Please try latest update:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc160063.exeThis should fix the fake CRC error bug. Thanks for reporting it in!
-
CRC problem is fixed … but VM will not load, the old dictionary problem. Good but no cigar!
The Development.vmsd file, shows in Ex in zip as zero bytes, PA restored it as 467K.
Trying a restore using Ex …
-
Restore using Explorer worked.
-
Copied vmsd from Explorer restore to PA restore, VM loads ok.
Your turn!

Please check with this latest release:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2016/powarc160064.exeWe didnt have much time to test it, seems fine so far in my testing.
-
Looks good … restores without a crc, destination file is zero, VM loads.
Thank you.

Let us know via email to extend your Select plan (if you dont have one, we will create it for you), this was definitely bug find of the month!
Pretty tricky, everything was compressed fine but extract did not work on 0 byte files if they were stored after 4 GB position in the zip archive (if they were saved before 4 GB in 100 GB archive it was fine). Thanks a lot once again!
-
I could not find an email, so I sent a PM a while ago.

Why didn’t I think of this post earlier … :(
Yesterday I needed to restore a VM … restored would not load … dictionary error, so do research, nothing works … :(
Then I find a file Development.vmsd, which should be zero in size, is restored as 4,294,967,296 bytes … hhmm I remember that :(
Running PA 16.10.14.
Rest of info as per the top of this thread :)
