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.
Problems with AES Secured Zips
-
Hello,
I need the AES-Encrypting features quite often because of my customers
request this. All of the encrypted ZIPs are done with the Wnzp 9.Sometimes, especially when the unpacked Files are more than about
80-100 megs large, PA stops with an “password incorrect” error.But it already decompressed (and decrypted) around 70…90% of
the archive successfully when the error shows up.I have tried to “simulate” the problem with PA, but it never show up.
Since I don’t have Winzip, I can’t simulate it either.Just try following setup: try to get 100megs of sources, websites or
texts, and then pack them down to ~10megs with encrypting AES 256 bit.Then try to “expand” it back with PA providing the correct password. If someone
can reproduce the error, I would be very happy to know what I can do about it.Currently, I have to manually select parts of the file (about 1/3 of zip) and
extract them 1/3-part by part so the error doesn’t shows up.Annoying…
thx

I tried this using “boost_1_32_0.tar.bz2”, see other thread
http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=738Compressed with WZ9 SR-1 (maximum enhanced deflate) using 256AES.
Extraction with WZ was OK.
Extraction with PowerArchiver 9.20.07 failed at 47% with the password error as mzk reported. -
Also tried PA9.21 (from same thread).
Both extract and test fail - also at 47% :confused: -
where can you download PA 9.21?

I see thanks

What exact version of WinZip are you using? (check in About box).
thanks,

For my test above (boost) I used WinZip 9 SR-1 (6224).
Extracting (PA 9.21) fails - always at 47% - both using Explorer Shell and PA Main Program.
