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.

Re: PowerArchiver 2019 Cloud is one-stop application for multiple clouds
The problem with OneDrive, which I reported about, seems to be specific only to Windows XP. I found a solution to this problem by installing one VBS script. After running this script and rebooting the system, the PowerArchiver Cloud successfully logs in to OneDrive if it is running as an Admin.

@Michael72 said in I found a solution to OneDrive problem:
The problem with OneDrive, which I reported about, seems to be specific only to Windows XP. I found a solution to this problem by installing one VBS script. After running this script and rebooting the system, the PowerArchiver Cloud successfully logs in to OneDrive if it is running as an Admin.
However, now I have another problem.
My OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP3
The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver 2019 Standard 19.00.47 (05/2019)How to reproduce the problem
Since it is recommended that we hold back from using the accounts with the type of administration for everyday work on the computer, I always have two accounts, an Admin account and a normal account from which I normally work.
So, I have two accounts on my computer. One Michael, and the other Admin.
I logged in as Michael (normal account with limited rightes).
I run the PowerArchiver as an Admin by using Windows “Run As…” option.
When the dialog window of account control popped up I chose another account with administration rights.The program has started successfully.
I сlick on Clouds button to open the Cloud Browser.
Now when I click on the OneDrive profile I get a successful connection to the cloud.
I close the PowerArchiver 2019 Cloud and also close the PowerArchiver 2019.
Now I am running the PowerArchiver 2019 as a Michael.
I сlick on Clouds button to open the Cloud Browser.
Now when I click on the OneDrive profile an empty Authorize dialog box opens and does not connect to the cloud.… Michael
