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.
PA 22.00.09

Unsolved PA 2018v32 "BURNER" - save dvd to iso app doesn't detect CD writer...
-
I tried to create an ISO to use it in PA VD, but v32 doesn’t detect my CD writer in this “BURNER” app. PA detects the CD writer in CD/DVD/BD tools (see screensnap) but not in the Save DV to ISO…
??? empty driver
Can you confirm this problem, thx
-
I can confirm with my external Pioneer Blu-ray burner!
BTW why are ALL the Burner windows so dam big?

someone reported it maybe a week ago, so it is logged in right now… thanks!

@spwolf Ok thx (I missed that reporting). Meanwhile I used the AS burner v19.1 :-). But now I wonder what is the purpose of the option “create drive on”… when you mount a VD.
I can’t remember if in previous PA versions of VD you got the option to select a Virtual drive letter or a choice of ‘free’ drive letters… so what’s the use or impact when you select the ‘Create drive on’ ? -
@pirrbe Please ignore my question on the ‘create drive on’. I found the answer on AS Zippro :
It is simply “Create drive on restart”
For one or another reason the text RESTART is missing on the PA screen… -
@pirrbe thank you pierre, i wrote it in…

Thanks @pirrbe
fixed in 18.00.43 -
@mili thx, external DVD writer is detected now, but another problem : it is out of order… hereby a status picture :
- no speed selection
- counter : size 432mb free -431mb
- burner button : faded / out of order
Mili, CD/DVD are becoming old fashion and I had to remove the dust of my box with rewritable DVD/CD to test this module. But I suppose that when PA claims to have a burner module on board, it should work. I don’t know if this is due to the fact that my writer/reader is an external… ??

hmmmm, seemed fine here yesterday. Will check out when I get to the computer with the burner and log it in accordingly.
Thanks very much for your continued help!

seems like it cant write to the media, hence no speed and out of space…

@spwolf I checked the burner function with third part soft (SH Burner Studio) and here the external dvd writer works perfect. PA recognize the writer but that’s it…

Can you try some other media?
-
@spwolf
What I noticed is that when you open the BURNER module, an extra drive is created :
But this drive is Read Only Memory ? (once created in PA it stays there, even when leaving BURNER modules = memory consuming ?)
Conflicting with PA writer proc ?
Sorry, what do you mean with ‘try other media’ ? -

Sorry, what do you mean with ‘try other media’ ?media is disc you inserted… did you try another disc? It has to be empty and writable.
-
Media used is indeed RW (tried Cd and DVD). With SH burner I can burn and add files afterwards (RW). The format is UDF. When trying out this with PA Burner, it’s going wrong. No active ‘Burn’ button, incorrect counters, etc… The first problem was that the external writer was not recognized by PA. That has been fixed, but still not operational.

I hope this is not an isolated local problem. -

I hope this is not an isolated local problem.yeah, that looks like Burner is not recognizing your disc as writable one. Did you try checking use last session checkbox?
I will try with some DVD-RWs I have, I burned some CD’s and DVDs but of normal R kind over the weekend.
