PA2023 Win10, (same problem with older releases but never reported)
PA Soft is installed on partition D. (exclusive for installed progs)
Then I created on my partition G: the folders as configured in PA Settings ‘Folders’.0fcf1b09-1b91-4b74-b250-f8cf908a3348-Ashampoo_Snap_maandag 20 maart 2023_11h54m34s.png

The problem : Any activity on PA is saved in these folders…
PA ignores them and still use the default settings. Whats wrong ? Regards, Pirrbe -
I am still using Powerarchiver 2022 and it does not show pdf markups in the preview. Is there a setting to get version 2022 to show pdf markups in the preview? If not, does this work in version 2023?

The question that I have about PA archives is what happens if say ConeXware, as a company, dies in the future? What happens to any PA files that are created today? Can these files be decompressed with a copy of a PowerArchiver that can no longer phone home to the mothership thus can’t be registered or activated?
I mean, I can understand that new PA files wouldn’t be able to be created if the program isn’t registered but what about an un-registered copy because well, the question that I posed above?
It’s questions like this that make me not want to store anything really valuable in PA files out of fear that I, at some point in the future, might lose access to said data inside those files. OK, 7ZIP might not be able to compress as heavily as PA but at least it’s open source and any 7ZIP files will still be able to be read and decompressed ten, twenty, or fifty years from now.

For some reason, the PowerArchiver functions in the Windows 11 context menu no longer work after the last Windows Update. Only the functions in the classic context menu function as they should.
I’ve tried uninstalling PowerArchiver and using RevoUninstaller to remove all bits and pieces that were left behind and did a clean install of PowerArchiver, it didn’t fix the issue. Other items in the Windows 11 context menu work.
-
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix coming? This is a primary reason I buy PA.
I’ve tried both methods I know to extract multiple zips at the same time. 1) Multi Extract feature in the GUI. 2) In Windows File Explorer, select multiple zips, right click, use PA context menu to Extract or Extract To…
Is there a setting I missed? Or maybe it really is processing in parallel, but I can’t detect it? Nothing tells me in the Processes in Task Manager that multiple PA extracts are running. And my CPU, memory and disk resources do not look like a lot of extracts are running.
I’m using PA 2022 Standard version 21.00.18 on Windows 11 Pro version 10.0.22621 Build 22621.
-
In the latest version of PA, on W11 (latest build/SP) when you try to use the first level context menu - NOTHING HAPPENS (particularly when you do this from Downloads or Documents folders) - however I noticed that it DOES WORK when you use the context menu from the Desktop. Going to the second level context menu does work however.

PA 2023 22.00.08
Long time no seeing. So I start up the new year with a first problem : the virtual driver cannot be installed. Reason : it is missing in the Fast Ring PatchBeam Update Service…
Virtual driver PA 2023-01-28 152607.png
It seems a standard problem with new releases :-)
Can I have a link or can it be fixed. Thank you. CU later -
Hi there, been a user since 13 years now and in past whenever I had a problem or question I could email, however since 3 weeks it seems like everybody is dead?
Anyway, as kind of a last resort, I post this email a 4th time but in this forum instead now, in the hope for help:
"This is the 3rd time I am emailing you guys as I am missing a working code for the preview of Power Archiver 2023Can you please help me? I am a 13 years lasting customer of yours, and I am shocked thatr for whatever reason my support tickets are ignored now, why?
thanks in advance!
All the best!

Re: Explorer.exe Crash on right click
This appears to be happening again with the Power Archiver 2022 shell extensions.
When I have Use Explorer Shell Extensions enabled in Power Archiver Configuration and right-click on c:\Users\username\Start Menu, (hidden Junction file), File Explorer crashes.
I have version 21.00.15 (03/2022) 64-bit installed in Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.1826).

When the function for testing archives is invoked via the shell context menu (PowerArchiver > Test) then all the files in the archive get extracted to the current folder.
The test dialog reports as many errors as there are files in the archive but it fails to give any hint as to which files are supposed to be erroneous or what the nature of the problem might be. Comparing the extracted files to the originals shows no differences at all.
The .7z in question was produced with maximised compression settings in 7zip (taking forever but resulting in smaller archives than .7z produced by PowerArchiver with maximised settings). Therefore I wanted to see whether PowerArchiver can at least test .7z that it produced itself. Hence I had PowerArchiver convert a .pa with the same contents to .7z. There weren’t any errors reported but the resulting .7z contained fewer than half of the files contained in the .pa (137 of 366), so I scratched that test.
Performance is abysmal when testing via the context menu (e.g. almost 2 minutes for testing a .7z that 7zip tests in 4 seconds), but that is most likely due to the fact that the extracted files are written to disk. Testing the same .7z in the PowerArchiver GUI takes only 8 seconds but causes the mysterious appearance of a UAC dialog, as reported elsewhere.
The testing function is vital because PowerArchiver has a history of producing archives that it cannot unpack without errors or that do not conform to the respective file format standards (e.g. ZIP) so that other programs report them as erroneous.
The point of creating archives is that the files in them will most likely have to be extracted at some point. If the extraction cannot be guaranteed to produce correct results then the whole program is absolutely pointless. Actually, worse than pointless - it causes data loss and hence damage.
SOLVED Power Archiver 20018 and Outlook 2016

HI.
Today I installed Office 2016 and now I have here a Little Problem.
Bevor Office 2016 I used Office 2007.
And there I was in Outlook 2007 able to configurate the Plugin in the Options menu.
In the menu Options i had a Register for PowerarchiverBut in Outlook 2016 I can’t find the configuration window for the Powerarchiver Plugin.
So where can I find it so that I configurate it?Office 2016 is a Little bit different from the handling than Office 2007
I mean the config windows which you can see here on the screenshots.
https://www.powerarchiver.com/de/powerarchiver-for-outlook-plugin-paop/In Outlook 2007 I had this configuration Regsiter to config the powerarchiver plugin.
But I can’t find such an config register/window under Outlook 2016.MfG

@MDuss Hello,
Here is updated installer that should fix this issue:
https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/paop30009.exePlease 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!
-
@MDuss If you go to Outlook> Options> Add-in Options, click on PowerArchiver and then Add-In Options button to configure it.
If you download and install 3.04 version of PAOP, then you will see Configuration right in PowerArchiver tab.
thanks!

Hi spywolf.
And here is my problem. I have installed the PAOP 3.04 and I have no entry at the Add-In.
The Add-In was my first point which i checked after the installation.Here is a screenshot from the add-in Windows:
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-6a5e16-1545654220.jpg.htmlSo you can see, there is no entry for powerarchiver.
When I try the Version 2.40.03 I have the same. No entry in Outlook.

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?
MfG
MDuss -
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.MfG

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.

MDussHello,
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.

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.htmlIn 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\OfficeHere is a screen from the installed Plugin Files:
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-ecffe7-1547452942.jpg.htmlFrom 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.

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.htmlI 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

MDuss[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. -

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.
