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.
Error during Check for new Versions
-
Hi.
I have here a Little Problem.
When I try to check for a new program Version i get an error Message.
The message is:
Access Violation at address 0046EAA0 in Module ‘PATCHBEAM.EXE’. Read of address 0000001c
I have the Version 16.03.01 (04/2016) installed.
And I have an other question here.
When I go the the configuration menu and there in the Point for Auto update there is an Option:
check for:- slow ring
- fast ring
What does this mean slow and fast ring?
What is the difference here.My native language is german, so I have no idea what this means.

Simply put, fast ring = beta and slow ring = stable version.

Hi MDuss.
Simply put, fast ring = beta and slow ring = stable version.
fast ring - more updates, weekly or few times per month
slow ring - once per month updatesI recommend fast ring to people who use PA frequently. They are not really betas, they are official releases. We use Fast/Slow because some people would get annoyed with weekly updates while others would want daily ones :)
-
thanks for the PB report. We got 2-3 similar ones, we will have a debug version next week or week after that to see why is that happening. We will let you know!
-
Thx for your Explanation.
So that measn that the Auto update System don’t look for betas anymore?
It’s only a question. I never use beta Software.MfG

MDussWe will have a separate download for betas. These are usually done when major new release is out - like 2017, so there are many internal changes that can results in more bugs.
Regular slow/fast release versions get same testing from our internal team, so it is not a beta.

Hi spywolf.

C:\Program Files (x86)\PowerArchiver\PatchBeam
or
C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PatchBeamOnce error appears, there should be a full logging system in there. You will be able to email us a full log (copy to clipboard for instance) with all the info for us to trace the error).
You can email it to support at conexware dot com
