    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    T

    Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).

    The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue:

    No Icons for SFX-Archives

    Hello!

    I’ve just created SFX-Archives both from ZIP and 7z-Archives and none has an Icon as it seems.
    I use the new version 22.00.11.

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D

    Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 .

    The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg
    I know it has non standard quotes in it.

    However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip.

    Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it.

    Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver.

    When will a fix be implemented?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB

    I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
    PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
    I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.

    This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.

    PA 2023 Toolbox - 22.00.09 - Remove archive encryption
    PA_FanP

    Win 11 64 bit

    I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).

    However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.

    What can I do to sort this out?

    However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !

      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:

        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.

            did you have the same issue with .50 or is it something new? Thank you!

                  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 :)

                    C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver
                    7z.dll
                    7z64.dll
                    pa.dll
                    pa64.dll

                      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.
