Hello!
I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
I use the new version 22.00.11.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .
The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
I know it has non standard quotes in it.
However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.
Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.
Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.
When will a fix be implemented?
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.

Solved Problem scheduling a backup
-
Running PA 2017 17.00.91 64 bit
I have this problem periodically in the past. I open an existing backup, has been running fine, go to Scheduling Options, then Advanced Options. The error message I get has varied from time to time, this one is new:
Task “My Backups-General.pbs” is not activated -
Fixed it … had to go to Windows Task Scheduler, deleted one of the bad backups, then added it again in PA, in that one, advanced now works, the other bad one still fails so it looks like that was it.
Now to my wife’s PA …
-
could you send the PBS that reproduces this maybe?
We will check it out immediately. you can send it to support at conexware dot comthanks!
-
@mili Is it possible to have a snap of the ‘advanced options’ screen overhere ? I never have seen the options, as ‘advanced’ never worked for me in any PA version
I discussed this on ‘chat’ but finally give it up.
Plan B : I use the MS OS build in Time Scheduler to launch my PBS scripts. But wanna compare your ‘advanced’ with the ‘advanced’ options of MS. Thanks. -
@pirrbe you sure do spend a lot of time worrying about Powerarchiver :)
here is the screenshot

:-))))))))))))) you know my objective : replacing some of my softs by just one = PA. And PA is almost similar to a quest game :-))), allways something to discover and brain storm to solve problem by yourself :-).
The schedule through PA never has been functional for me. Even without the Advance Settings, nothing happens. So my next quest was MS Time Scheduler :-))))… never used it before… And the combination of PA .pbs with MSTS works perfect. -
PBS file sent.
There are some problems with the Advanced Options. I cannot access it at present but there have been on going problems for ages. There are also formatting problems, where, from memory, you change the time in Advanced but it does not update on the screen just above the Advanced button.
-
I tracked back through my old posts on this … it was fixed April 2015, reported that it came back again late 2016 but did not seem to be resolved.
-
Thanks for the PBS. We have been attempting to reproduce it, with no luck however. The Adv. options screen starts always. Does the same occur for you when you create a new backup? or is the error message appearing only on older PBS scripts created in previous versions?
In regards to the scheduled time, the dropdown is a quick select menu and shows time in half hour intervals. The Adv. Options screen allows for more precise time input.
Also, you can do the same(more precise/advanced options) through the Task Scheduler in windows.

Just tried it again, with the two pbs files on the host running PA 2017, both fail as above.
Created a new backup and advanced works.
Copied one of “bad” pbs files to a VM running PA 2016 and worked ok.
PA 2017 is also on my wife’s computer, can’t get it to auto run there but Advanced is ok.
-
Ok, have been doing some playing …
Took a copy of bad pbs, found:
[Schedule]
Mode=2
Time=40
Days=and deleted it (why do those files have so many blank lines?) and advanced now ok.
-
Nah, just copied bad pbs and advanced works, no changes required …
-
Fixed it … had to go to Windows Task Scheduler, deleted one of the bad backups, then added it again in PA, in that one, advanced now works, the other bad one still fails so it looks like that was it.
Now to my wife’s PA …
-
One thing I noticed … after deleting in TS, when I go to re-add it in PA, it remembered 10pm as start time, but had Wednesday not Thursday???
