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.
Unsolved PA 19.00.47 spurious messsage when extracting particular .pa file.

I have somehow made a .pa file that extracts okay but when extracting this:
always appears seemingly no matter where I extract to.
Here is the file.
I am running PA on 64 bit Windows 7. -
Thanks for sending the file over. We have reproduced the issue as well here. Oddly enough, when re-creating a PA archive using the same extracted files, the error does not appear again upon extraction.
Do you remember the settings used to create the file? I re-created with the default Optimized Strong settings and it was fine. Maybe a setting during archive creation causes it.
It has been logged in. -
@Brian-Gregory I sent it to @eugene to check, he is the engineer responsible for PA format.

Thanks

@Mili I didn’t realize it was such a weird problem. I created the file on a PC I won’t have access to until next weekend and I can’t seem to recreate the problem on the PC where I am now. Sorry.
-
@spwolf Sorry, can’t get them until the weekend.
-
Drat. I forget to find them. Sorry.

No problem @Brian-Gregory
We were able to find a solution and have tested the file you sent and it extracted fine without the error.
The fix should be in the next update.many thanks for letting us know!

I had a chance to check and I thought I’d tell you what I found since it’s rather odd.
One of the files, “BIOS Original.BIN” is not stored and/or extracted correctly in “BIOSs.pa” archive. A few bytes are wrong and it’s date and time are wrong too!
BIOSs.pa was created by right clicking a file BIOSs.ZIP and choosing “PowerArchiver” and then “Convert…” and then choosing “PA”, “Optimize Strong” and “Extreme” and clicking “OK”.
I’ve put the BIOSs.zip file here in case you want to examine it. -

I’ve put the BIOSs.zip file here in case you want to examine it.we got it already, issue was during extraction of files with rep1 filter with redundant data… so it is fixed in latest engine and it will work fine with your (old) file as well… just waiting for PA update and thanks for reporting it.

@Brian-Gregory please check this release:
https://powerarchiver.cachefly.net/2019/powarc190048.exeand see if it works properly… @Mili and I didnt have much time to test yet. Thanks!
