    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT

    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).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier
    TheAndyMacT

    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
    MerowingerM

    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?

    Missing Icons

    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

    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” !
    I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.

          You must have read access to that file in PowerArchiver directory - with normal installation it should work fine, but probably admin set that only POWERARC.EXE can be read/executed.

          Check you premissions for C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver folder and files inside.

            I am getting this error, too:

            "explorer.exe - Unable to Locate Component

            This application has failed to start because DUNZIPS32.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

            This is on Windows Vista and happens sometimes when right-clicking on a file in Explorer.

            Is there any solution for this?

                Hi Spwolf -

                I am the original poster, although I have had to use a different forum account, due to getting a “you do not have permission to access this page” error from the PowerArchiver forum.

                I no longer have PowerArchiver installed (although I continue to get this annoying error condition).

                I downloaded PowerArchiver from downloads.com sometime in August, if that tells you anything about what version I was running.

                Thanks in advance for any constructive suggestions.

                    are you sure you are not missing that file as part of Windows installation? That file is installed by Windows as well, although under C:\Windows folder.

                    thanks,

                                spwolf, thanks very much for the hint as to what the problem is, and davidsplash, thank you very much for providing a link to a dunzips32.dll that I can download. I was not able to find that by googling, for some reason.

                                It will take several days to be sure that this fixes the problem, because it didn’t happen all of the time, but I’m optimistic that you’ve solved it.

                                Thanks!

                                  davidsplash, I downloaded the file at the URL you provided and rebooted, but I’m still getting the error.

                                  I noticed that the file at that URL is called dunzip32.dll, not dunzips32.dll, the latter of which is named in my error messages.

                                  Perhaps dunzip32.dll is the generic Windows file, while dunzips32.dll is a PowerArchiver file? I’m just guessing…

                                  Any more suggestions?

                                  Thanks.

                                    try renaming the file to the one in your error message

                                    if that works good if not search for it in the registry and delete that entry.

                                        davidsplash, that’s a great idea, and I renamed the file today. I’ll let you know if it works.

                                        Does anyone know what is supposed to be in c:\Windows for Vista Home? Is there supposed to be a dunzips32.dll there (without PA installed)?

                                            davidspliash, unforunately, when I rename c:\windows\dunzip32.dll to dunzips32.dll, I get the error shown in the attachment (hopefully, I did not mess up when I attached it).

                                            I’ll see whether I can summon up the nerve to do registry surgery.

                                            Does anyone know whether Vista Home is actually supposed to have such a file in c:\windows and, if so, what it is supposed to be called?

                                            Thanks.

                                                  spwolf, I will keep that suggestion on my list of things to consider, but since my problems started with installing PA….

                                                    davidsplash, I searched the registry for dunzips32.dll and came up with the entry shown in the attached graphic. I right-clicked on that entry and chose ‘delete’, but got the warning shown in the 2nd attached graphic.

                                                    When I then searched for ‘dunzips32.dll’ again, it was still there.

                                                    Any suggestion how to delete this entry? I’m not a registry wizard, as you can probably tell.

                                                    Thanks.

                                                      I have a WinXP system that has both files on it:

                                                      dunzip32.dll:  
                                                          Version 5.0.0.0
                                                          Location:  C:\program files\notes (Lotus Notes)
                                                          Description:  DynaZIP-32 Multi-Threading UnZIP DLL
                                                      
                                                      dunzips32.dll:
                                                          Version 6.0.0.5
                                                          Location:  C:\program files\powerarchiver
                                                          Description:  DynaZip Secure Multi-Threading UnZip DLL
                                                      
                                                      

                                                      These 2 DLLs are not interchangeable - dunzip32.dll (the non-secure one) has an export named “dunzip” (among other exports); dunzips32.dll (the secure one) has a corresponding export named “dunzipS”. If a program is compiled to use dunzips32.dll it will be looking for an API named dunzipS which will not be found if the DLL is really dunzip32.dll.

                                                      Of course there are probably other differences, but surely this is enough to conclude that the files are not interchangeable.

                                                      Also, the dunzips32.dll file is digitally signed by ConeXware - I don’t know if this is just so that user’s can verify where it came from or if PA checks for the signature and refuses to use one that’s unsigned (maybe spwolf can inform us on that).

                                                      If you want the file, you can get it from the PA installer by opening the installer executable with PA (which poses a chicken & egg problem for you certainly :)). It’s a 7Zip self-extractor, so I assume that other archive utilities can open up the PA installer as well.

                                                      But often files of this type require some sort of registration in the registry, so it might make sense to re-install PA to get the registry hopefully fixed up, too.

                                                        I’m probably confused, but but do davidsplash’s and mwb1100’s suggestions combine to:

                                                        1. re-install PA
                                                        2. copy dunzips32.dll from whereever PA puts it to c:\windows

                                                        ?

                                                        Thanks.

                                                          Twice now I’ve gotten to the point where I’m blocked from making posts. I get the message shown below my signature.

                                                          Is an administrator consciously blocking my account? If so, may I ask why? Or, is it a problem with the forum application or database?

                                                            did you login with your account? maybe your cookies get cleared and you need to login properly with your username/password. We dont ban anyone, only for spamming and there was definetly no need to ban you.

                                                            I doubt there is an issue with database since everyone elses account work fine.

                                                            thanks
