On installing the program I am getting the error message:
"Unable to execute file c:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\pashutil.exe
CreateProcess failed: code 2
The system cannot find the file specified"
This can’t be right!
I am using the latest official build of Windows 11

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

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).
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.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!

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?
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.
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.

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.

David, please write in understandable sentences :-).
You probably typed help instead of test… I am sure if you try again you will see it works fine.It is impossible for encrypted file to be opened with wrong password.
-
it was an avi file i encrypted and yes it opened with wrong passwd. but its the only one thats done it so far
-
Well, I tried with an avi file - using shell compress and encrypt - PA compressed to zip and then gave password prompt. I entered one and pae file was created.
Then still in same explorer window, I selected shell extract to {filename as folder}
PA asked for password, I entered an incorrect password.
PA then “appeared” to extract the file (progress displayed and even creating folder) but on completing gave the message “incorrect password” and deleted the destination folder.
Didn’t have chance to check if (temporary) file was extracted into the folder before deletion.Is this false extraction process necessary, or should it be immediately cancelled with incorrect password?
-
it does extract tfile to the folder.
it should snot even atrt the process of extractimng if its the wrong password

Eh, its checking the password by extracting the file. Since password is wrong, extracted file is garbage and it gets deleted.
While we could have done password checking via stored hash of the password which would be still considered secure and very fast, this way dictionary based attacks are much, much slower and raise passive security of the pae files up a notch.
It also might help in the future because if some hashing algorithm gets cracked completly, it can not be used to recover the data.
