Hello @Mili,
thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs.
I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me:
While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License.Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs?
Thanks for your help in advance.

How do I achieve this ; show me a command line example !

My OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP3
The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019]The program not extracts one self-extracting file.
How to reproduce the problem
Download the SFX file by link: install.exe
paext32 -o+ -p"install" "install.exe"
Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located.
Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive.
If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter.
Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides.
Enter command:As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no
files will be extracted.The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file.
This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program.… Michael

Hi,
there’s a problem with PAComp and file names with a leading ".\ ".
That’s nowadays a problem, since PowerShell auto complete will complete a file test.zip in the current directory to .\test.zip.0_1524826660985_pacomp.png
The first command reports “All OK”, but test.7z is not created.
The second command reports an error, but the error message isn’t helpful at all. VSS doesn’t help anything if a program fails to write to a file. It’s for reading locked files… And the problematic file isn’t mentioned at all. By the way, there’s a typo, it should be “open”, not “opet”.
Only the third command (without ".\ ") works as expected.The problem exists in the x86 and x64 version, it doesn’t matter if the archive already exists (updating) or not (creating a new archive).

Hi,
I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat:
1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks
if (%1)==() goto help if (%2)==() goto help SET PATMPDIR=%TEMP%\$PATEMP$.%time::=% if exist "%PATMPDIR%" rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" mkdir "%PATMPDIR%" paext -e -d -p"%PATMPDIR%" "%~1" echo. pacomp -a -r -p -w "%~2" "%PATMPDIR%\*.*" echo. rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" SET PATMPDIR=
2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later
3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir
4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time.
5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks -

PACL 8.0.
What new features do you guys want from it?
Current list for 8.0
RAR 5.x support. Latest ZIP/ZIPX engine with even better performance. Updated rest of engines with latest support for all file formats.Possibly:
New PAF format testing.Other things like better logs or what else do we need?
-
Is it possible to encrypt file names as well as archive itself using pacl?
I know you can do this using Power Archiver but not sure about pacl.
-
I spent many hours trying to figure out how to use PACOMP to add about 50 Gb to a spanned 7z archive with AES256 encryption, and have yet to be successful.
I’ve tried every combination of switches I can think of, with no success. Can someone offer a combination of switches that is known to work for this kind of task?
All I have been able to make is a set of spanned files that PA cannot open.
-
Hi
I am trying to understand what is default encryption method for PACOMP -fips command?
And what is the difference if you specify encryption method using e[0,1,2] command?
Using only FIPS:
pacomp -a -ssecret -fips -p stuff.bh “c:\my stuff*.*”FIPS combined with e2
pacomp -a -ssecret -fips -e2 -p stuff.bh “c:\my stuff*.*” -
How can I add comment to archive using pacl pacomp?
-
Hi All
I have archive that holds password protected, encrypted data which is created using something like this:
C:\Temp\ZipTest>pacomp -a -spassword -fips -e2 archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest" -x"C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"Then I add regular file into that archive which is not encrypted and not password protected. “ReamMe.txt” sort of file. Using command below.
C:\Temp\ZipTest>pacomp -a archive.zip "C:\Temp\ZipTest\ReadMe.txt"Now when I extract this archive using:
paext -spassword -p"C:\ZipTest\Temp" archive.zipEverything extracts correctly except for ReadMe.txt file. File is present but content is empty.
error: extracting: ReadMe.txt --> CRC ERROR! [100%]
I get followingHow can I extract archive without corruption ReadMe.txt file?
-
Does PA (preferably the CL version) have the facility to archive files based on an age?
(I want to be able to move a quantity of files out of a folder and into an archive if (and only if) they’re over 35 days old.
I have an ancient copy of ARJ that can do this (via the -odb switch) but I’d like to use PA, and can’t work out if it’s possible.

Please double check at your end.ah, ivan left old pacomp.exe… use pacomp64.exe :)
-
@spwolf Okay I deleted the old PACOMP.EXE and I put hard link called PACOMP.EXE to PACOMP64.EXE and similar for PAEXT (so my old batch files work).
I still don’t get each file added on it’s own line like in v8.
-
@Brian-Gregory can you please remind me what OS again? I cant reproduce it here, looks fine… thank you!
-
@spwolf 64 bit Windows 7.
-
Your provided paconv.bat still throws errors and doesn’t work as you intend, since “deltree” is unknown on any modern Windows operating system. Also, there’s no “paext” command anymore. There are some other problems, too.
Please consider adding my changes from this post for PACL 8 -
There are various other problems executing the programs:
paclreg.exe reports it’s version 8.0
pacomp.exe is x64 and can’t be executed on a x86 OS
pacrypt.exe reports it’s version 8.0
paencode.exe reports it’s version 8.0
pafix.exe reports it’s version 8.0
paspan.exe reports it’s version 8.0paclreg.exe registers only the “old” files, so the …32.exe and …64.exe show the shareware notice.
I’ve downloaded this file:
http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE -
@bigmike There have not been any updates so far, which suggests that the powers that be chose to ignore the problem instead of spending the 30 programmer seconds needed for fixing it.
However, if you compare one of the registered EXE files with an unregistered copy then you’ll see that the process of ‘registration’ for an EXE file is quite a simple one. Applying a similar change to paext32.exe or paext64.exe (using a hex editor or copy /b at the command prompt) yields the desired effect.
An alternative approach would be temporarily renaming ‘forgotten’ EXE files like paext32.exe to one of the names hard-coded into paclreg.exe (paext.exe, pacomp.exe, pafix.exe, paspan.exe, paencode.exe, pacrypt.exe) and renaming them back after the registration.
For batch files there is yet another option, one which doesn’t require changing any executables at all. Simply pipe a newline into the command in order to acknowledge the ‘unregistered version’ prompt. E.g. instead of
paext32 bla bla
use
echo.|paext32 bla bla

idea was to automatically use -p when -r is used to have one less switch for newbies. So this will be corrected in next update.
-
Signed all executables – All executables and dlls are signed with our standard authenticode to make them work better with various AV software where PowerArchiver is already whitelisted.
Sorry, but as you modify the executables in the registration process, you invalidate the signature. Ok, it seems, at least, that the signature is removed completely, but it’s probably not helpful for the file rating to have signed and unsigned executables for the same version?
paconv.bat still doesn’t work at all, as deltree, pacomp and paext (two of them of the very same product) are unknown.
PACRYPT.exe
PAENCODE.exe
PAFIX.exe
PASPAN.exestill report to be version 8.00
-
@bigmike it will help a little bit during installation and initial copying, but thats the only proper way to have it done. PACL does not have issue with false positives though and having patched files companies can simply copy over is much easier than having to register it somehow else.

Updated 9.00 Beta 3:
https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2018/pacl900-180119.exeIt returns -p -r to previous behaviour and also drastically improves performance when scanning folders with large number of files (100k, etc). There was an issue there where it was calculating relative path when it did not need to so it took long time… basically now it takes 5-6s and before it would be 200s.

@brian-gregory problem for 7z and PA formats is when multi-threading is enabled, current file progress could cause issues due to it reporting from multiple different threads to the main thread. So
Previously we simply did not have MT support for 7z due to this issue.
