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.

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
Open the program.
Go to “Configuration” under Options in the menu. Click on the “Compression Profiles”.
Select the “ShellExt: ZIP Default” from the list, make sure the “Use Deflate64 compression” option is un-checked and then click OK.
Exit from the PowerArchiver.
Open Microsoft® Explorer and select the files you want to compress.
Click the right mouse button to display the pop-up menu.
Click on “Compress To Filename.zip”.
After you zip it unzip using the Windows Explorer. To unzip it, open the zipped folder, then select Extract All, and then follow the instructions.
You will receive an error message that says that was used the “Use Deflate64 compression” option.

Hi @Michael72
Thanks for the info. Seems fine on a W10 test machine but we will test this on an XP machine today and report the results and log it in as necessary. thanks very much for letting us know! -
Hi @Michael72
Is this reproducible for you on all files or a specific zip file?I have been trying to reproduce it by Windows extracts it OK for me on an XP machine. Opening the Zip in Windows Explorer, then going to File>Extract All works fine. Extracted the files without error
Also, was the account you experienced this issue on an admin or guest account?

Also, was the account you experienced this issue on an admin or guest account?I missed an important detail. In the settings you also need to set the Compression option. The problem is reproduced, if for this option set the value to Extreme or Ultra (memory req.)
See screen capture:

thanks for the updated information @Michael72
Yes, any time Extreme method is used, it is unrecognized by windows explorer extractor on xp when extracting.
We’ve logged it in, let’s see what can be done.
