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.
Solved Bug? UAC and PA 2017
-
I tried to extract a program from an archive to a subfolder of “C:\Program Files (x86)”
This requires elevated privileges, my user is in the administrators group and UAC is enabled.
In PowerArchiver, UAC support is enabled.Instead of raising an UAC prompt, I get an error, that the file is in use, disk full or my account has no write privileges.
Environment:
PowerArchiver 2017 17.01.06 x64
Windows 10 1709 x64Actions to reproduce:
Open an archive with PowerArchiver
Select some files
Click on “Extract files” in the toolbar
Select C:\Program Files (x86) as destination folder
Click “Extract” -
@bigmike what format/archive?
-
It was a ZIP-file. Sorry, I didn’t know that the format would matter.
-
@bigmike thanks for the report… it does depend on the engine, but in this case nothing calls uac when extracting. thanks again!
-
I had just the same behavior with a 7z-archive.
-
@bigmike we are aware of the issue since you reported it, i have bumped it up the queue right now. Thanks.
-
Hi,
ok, I thought, since you wrote, that’s dependent on the engine, I need to report it for 7z, too. -
Can you please check with following release and let us know if the problem is still there:
New version: PowerArchiver 2018 18.00.23 - BETA 1
Download: http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2018/powarc180023.exethanks!
(zip)

@spwolf I can confirm, that I get an UAC prompt for both types - zip and 7z with version 18.00.23

can you check if files are there after extract, and also for compress if it works?
thanks!
-
@spwolf Yes, I had a look and the files were extracted and placed into the folder.
What do you exactly mean by test compress? Create a new archive in a “special folder” from within PowerArchiver? Or update an existing archive? Or using the shell extension to extract/compress files? -

thanks a lot!
It works differently on different versions of Windows and different UAC settings, so it is good to doublecheck.
-
@spwolf Ok, compressing with the shell extension works also fine with the new version.
