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).

Powerarchiver 2022
Right-click and select Encrypt on a folder does not work.
Although it says it encrypts, there is no encrypted file in the destination folder. -
The online update feature within the program suggests there is a later version than the ‘.17’ available on the web site. But clicking either download or update just reinstalls version .17.
Either there isn’t an update OR
the “download” and 'update" links should be repaired. -

Hi,
When you click on the Buy Now link, you come across four tabs - Home or Work, Enterprise Unlimited, Educational Discount, & Gift Discount.
What is the difference between a licence purchased via Gift Discount and a Home/Work licence?
Also, how can I renew the PowerArchiver Select plan a year after the purchase? Will it remind me automatically?
Best,

I’m running PA 21.00.17 64-bit on a 64-bit i7 desktop with W10 Pro, latest version. This 32gb of installed RAM.
As I use the PA pbs system for a number of scheduled archiving operations throughout the day, PA Starter is set to load and run at system startup.
In the course of trying to identify some causes of slowness and bottlenecks in other processes, I notice that PA Starter (PAS) always runs at between 11% and 15% of CPU (see screenshot), usually at about 12-13%. This is by far the highest demanding process on the system, as shown by Task Manager. In Performance Monitor, PAS Average CPU is 8.32, with every other process at less that 1 i.e. in decimal places only.
Task Manager also shows PAS Power Usage as “Very High”, and is the only process shown thus.
I have looked again at the information about PAS at https://wiki.powerarchiver.com/en:help:details:powerarchiver_starter, which was last modified in 2016. The article states a low memory usage for PAS of 784k, which is fair enough, but it is the large CPU overhead which is of concern.
It is of course possible to change the PAS priority, but this has no effect on CPU overhead.
However, is it possible to change PAS, which is required only at intervals to initiate PA scheduled tasks, from consuming so much system resource for every moment of the day?

I’m experiencing very slow extraction speed of multipart RAR files. For the first part the extraction is super fast but when PA reaches the part2.rar the extraction from there on gets super slow. PA needed for a 6,3 GB multipart archive 30 minutes to extract. I tested then with another program and it just took 70 seconds. I had this slow extraction speed with PA for quite a long time and I always thought that is maybe because of a high compression rate that the extraction would take longer. But it seems that only PA gets that slow.
I have lots of multipart archives that are 10+ GB and with PA it would be really time consuming. Is there any solution to this?

Hi. The “Move” Action seems to be Not Working when used in the Tool – Batch Archive.
Using the Options – Configuration – Compression Profiles ---- I created a Profile with the Action of Move. Also set were Zip, and Method Deflate.
When I use the Tool - Batch Archive – It appears to me that the Action Move does not Move the compressed files (basically add to zip, and delete the added file from original location on the same disk). Zip file(s) are created and look ok.
Typically I on the Batch Archive process – I have selected options to use a Profile with the Move Action.
File’s Current Folder Group files from same folder into same archive Add subfolders to separate archivesMy PowerArchiver version is 21.00.17 .
Can you reproduce ? – Or do you need additional details or information?

Hello,
PowerArchiver Command Line 7 support file greater than 2 Go ?
Thanks
-
i just registered my own copy and i need some help to set it…
if i set the ‘configuration>shell extension>open folder after extracting’ checkbox, after decompress an archive is opened the file manager on that folder but… if somebody is using a different file manager how to open XYplorer or Directory Opus for example and NOT the MS file manager?
consider this as a feature request also if not available within the 2022 version

I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.
PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

Just a question is Ashampoo zip pro 4 built by Powerrachiver as it is very similar and uses the pae encryption.

There would be many of us with Intel Processors.
and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.
Reference:
https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdfCan we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?
Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

SOLVED PA 19.00.51 / Access Violation

Hi,
I’m testing the new version.
My test system is a VM with Windows 10 1903 x86.
I’m trying to create an archive via context menu. ZIP is working fine, but with 7z and PA format, I get an access violation:
The archives seem to be created fine.
-
Hey @BigMike
How exactly are you attempting to create the 7z and PA archives when the error occurs?
We’ll attempt to reproduce using the same steps -
Hi,
it happens with any file on the desktop. I’m simply right clicking and then “Compress To 7z” or “Compress To pa”.
I noticed, that this won’t happen if the file is located in other folders (I tried a network share). I’m using German localization. -

Actually, I don’t think, I*ve tried this with version .50, so I can’t tell if it’s new or not.

@BigMike check with .57, not sure if anything changed but there were plenty of changes:

Still crashing here in my test VM, but if you can’t reproduce it and no other people report similar problems, maybe something is wrong with my VM!?
-
Hi BigMike,
If you can enable debug logging for your VM and provide the logs of the crash this would be useful.
However, these two Module error handlers refer towards .7z and .pa modules, and the fact that you are able to use the application to Zip without error points towards a conflict in the registry where the DLL’s are concerned.
As such, you are going to want to identify in the logs the DLL’s By name and location that are causing this 1st, and the logging will help with that.
But my feeling would be you try to de-register the following DLL’s , then reboot your VM and try. (The best way is to check the logs, find the actual dlls and de-register them) But we can try the good old fashioned “go by experience and hope for the best” way too :)

Hi RJWaring,
regsrv32.exe /u 7z.dll raises an error, that the file couldn’t be unregistered.
Removing and reinstalling PowerArchiver (I guess, this would de-register them) doesn’t fix the problem. -
“regsrv32.exe /u 7z.dll raises an error, that the file couldn’t be unregistered.”
That might be your problem, what VM Application do you use? Do you have system admin rights?
I can do a bit more digging for you, but in experience 90% its the VM config causing you the problem.
Kind Regards,

Hi, I’m using Oracle VirtualBox 6.0.12 for virtualization.
My account is an administrator with UAC protection, I ran the command from an elevated command prompt.I’m unsure, where to find the problem. The shell extension works perfectly fine in other folders. As I wrote above, the crash happens while compressing files on the desktop.
As I’m using the VM to test new software, the config might be broken and time to set up a new one.
I don’t know, if it’s worth to invest more time on the problem, as no one else seems to have the problem. -
Thanks BigMike,
I hate to say it , VM has a wide range of documentated cases like these the one’s i know of doing what i suggested helps, but not in all cases.
Then your talking more time to investigate, which is when the question is raised why not do a rebuild seeing that this isnt an issue being replicated on other VM’s.
But, it’s not a PowerArchiver problem as i’ve seen this across many other platforms and dll’s.
Sorry i couldnt help further buddy, if you do manage to figuire it out please share we would love to hear from you again.
Kind Regards,
RJWaring
