    Windows 11 Shell Extension crash
    W
    Copied the Take Command shortcut, changed Target to be wt.exe -p “Take Command” and saved it. Right-clicked to get to properties and Explorer crashed. (wt.exe is the Microsoft Terminal program, which I have installed from the Microsoft Store.) The Target path had changed to: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p “Take Command” Created a new shortcut in a Start Menu folder and set the command line to the same, and it crashed the same. Created a new shortcut and set the command line to mspaint.exe (also a Windows Store app) and Explorer crashed on right-click on the shortcut. It appears PowerArchiver shell extensions doesn’t handle Windows Store apps in shortcuts properly. Perhaps it needs better defensive coding around checking the Target of shortcuts, or just ignoring shortcuts altogether. Running PA 22.00.11 on Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.6584

    Ultimate zip was made by powerarchiver
    D
    From google search AI Overview Yes, that’s correct. UltimateZip was indeed a product of the same company that developed PowerArchiver, and it was essentially a rebranded version of PowerArchiver. It was discontinued and replaced by PowerArchiver.

    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT
    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).

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D
    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?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB
    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.

      From this screenshot, you can see, that it’s Outlook x64, while there was only an x86 version of Outlook 2007. Maybe you need to reinstall PAOP, that the x64 plugin is installed correct?

        HI.

        I have reinstalled the PAOP Plug in and restart Outlook, even my computer.

        Or should I try Office 2016 in 32-bit Version?

          I’m not using Outlook (and therefore no PAOP), but the information on the homepage says, both x86 and x64 version are supported by PAOP, so this shouldn’t matter!?

            Normaly I would say yes, but sometimes it does matter.

            At first I used Office 2007 Enterprise 32-Bit and the powerarchiver plugin 2.40.03.
            Now I use Office 2016 Professional Plus with the powerarchiver plugin 3.04.

            I reinstalled both powerarchiver plugins more than one time. Both togehter and both seperatly. It have no effect in outlook 2016.
            The plugin will not apear in the oulook 2016 add-ins so i can not configurate and use this plugin.

              On my test machine AutoRuns doesn’t recognize PAOP as Office Plugin after installation.

              In your Registry, you should have a key
              HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PAOPLibrary.OlAddIn
              at least, this is the name on my test machine.
              Check if HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins has a subkey PAOPLibrary.OlAddIn
              If I add this key, on my system, AutoRuns recognizes PAOP as Office plugin. Maybe this suffices for Outlook, too?

                Hi BigMike.

                Under the Key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
                I have two entrances.

                1. PAOPLibrary.OlAddIn
                  and there is the subfolder with the name Clsid
                2. PAOPLibrary.OptionPage
                  and there is also a subfolder with the name Clsid

                In the area HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins
                I haven’t an entry with the name PAOPLibrary.OlAddIn

                  It seams that the setup can not create this entries in the windows registry. But I have no idea why there is this problem.

                    Hello,

                    can you let us know what version of office it is exactly and what Windows, and we will test with it… But keep in mind that PAOP, both 2.x and 3.x have been in use with Office 2016 for a very long time, and we have been using it on our own 10+ computers also for very long time. It is a very strange issue, but maybe some update changes something.

                    Right now we all moved to latest 2019, but we have virtual machines with older windows and office of course.

                    thanks!

                      Hi spywolf.

                      I use Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit edition.
                      At first I used Office 2007 Enterprise and the Outlok Plugin 2.40.02. The Outlook Plugin works fine with Outlook 2007.

                      Now I use Office 2016 Professional Plus 64-Bit and I wanted to use the Outlook Plugin 3.04 which I have installed.
                      But this Plugin and the Version 2.40.02 will not show up in Outlook 2016.

                      I have deinstalled and reinstalled the plugins more than once. Only the old, only the new and both together and nothing works.
                      At the moment I have installed only the Version 3.04.

                      I can not use Office 2019 because this version will not run under Windows 7.

                            @MDuss Hello, can you please try latest internal build and let us know how it works for you:
                            https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/paop30008.exe

                            thank you!

                            Hi spywolf.

                            I installed the new Version but it will not show up in the Outlook Add-Ins.

                            I deinstalled the version 3.00.04 and installed the Version 3.00.08

                            Here is a screenshot from the Add-Ins Section from Outlook 2016 options and the installed plugin 3.00.08:
                            https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-33e9c2-1547452707.jpg.html

                            In the Add-In options I have one deaktivated Add-In which you can not see on the screenshot.
                            The Add-in is called “Windows Search Email Indexer”. This one is deaktivated.

                            The Outlook Plugin seems to be installed because the Files are in the folder
                            C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\PLUGINS\Office

                            Here is a screen from the installed Plugin Files:
                            https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-ecffe7-1547452942.jpg.html

                            From the post from BigMike it seems that only the registry entries are missing in my windows.
                            Would it be possible that you can send me the neccessary registry entries for the plugin as an export file .reg so that I can import than. Maybee it would work on this way.

                            I have no idea why the setup will not create the registry entries when this is the error reason.

                              @MDuss Hello,

                              Here is updated installer that should fix this issue:
                              https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/paop30009.exe

                              Please check it out and let us know.

                              Problem was that due to whatever changes in Office 2016 update, we were not able to properly detect the version used (x86 or x64) and installer installed x86 version even when Office x64.

                              It seems to have affected Win7 x64 and Office 2016 x64 builds only.

                              We have changed the installer to use different method of detection and now it should work fine.

                              thank you!

                                Hi Spywolf.

                                The New Version works for me not complete correct.
                                I can see the Plugin now in Oulook, but when I wanted to configurate it I have the same problme which i had with Version 3.00.04 and Outlook 2007, which I already described in this topic.

                                https://forums.powerarchiver.com/topic/5814/powerarchiver-outlook-plug-in-don-t-works-correctly

                                When i used the Button "Add-In Options I get a fullscreen from the Power Archiver Plugin and I can make changes, but I can not close the Windows or so because the button for closing the window didn’t work. And the Checkboxes seems to be at the wrong places. Becaus when I wanted to check a box I need to click nearly 1 cm right of the checkbox to aktivate it.

                                And as I sayed, I can not close the screen anymore, so I need to close Outlok over the Task manager because I have no other chioce. Sometime I can use ALT + Space to bring up the Windows control to close the window.

                                Here is a Screenshot from my problem:
                                https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-5b3954-1547713173.jpg.html

                                I can change the checkboxes when I click 1 cm right from the checkbox. And the pull-down menu are not usable for me because when I click on the small triangle the selctable options didn’t show up.

                                So this plugin Version I can not use completely because the pull-down didn’t work and when I make changes at the checkboxes they will work, wenn I can use alt + space so that I can bring up the close options from the window.

                                The configuration Window show Plugin Version 3.00.02 but I have installed Version 3.00.09

                                [Edit:] I have here found here a seconod error.
                                When I try to open the Add-In Option from an Add-In which didn’t have configurable options, then I normaly get an message about this case.
                                When I have installed the Power Archiver Plugin and I wanted to open the Add-In Option like above, than I didn’t get the message about not configurable options instead the window for the Power Archiver Plugin konfiguration opens although I didn’t want to open this because I had selected an other Add-In.

                                  Hi.

                                  Sometimes I seems to be blind.
                                  After I installed the plugin I have a new entry in the menu bar for powerarchiver.
                                  When I go there I have a new button for the configuration.
                                  When I use this button I have the normal configuration window which works normaly.
                                  But when I go over the Outlook options and then go to the Add-Ins I have the problem I described in my last post with the not working window from the plugin configuration.

                                    thanks for letting us know… finally I was able to reproduce your issue as well. Thanks again!

                                      Hi Spywolf.

                                      When you are in the add-ins menu from the option and you want to open the configuration from an other addin like for example “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” do you get then the windows which tells you that this add-in have no configuration settings or do you get the window from powerarchiver although you have selected for example the “Microsoft-Exchange-Add-In” Add-in?

                                        In the future update, we will remove separate add-in menu in options, so you will be able to configure it via toolbar only, as Microsoft wants. That way there is no confusion.

                                        Let us know if you notice anything else, thank you!
