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.
Zwischenablage_10-22-2024_01.jpg
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?
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!
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?
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.

TAR not archiving correctly?
-
I haven’t seen this problem before with PA. I’ve been able to TAR a few files here and there then I bzip2 or gzip them.
But over the weekend, I went to do the same with one of my folders to back it up and when I opened up the TAR to delete a few files prior to running it through bzip2, there were corrupted files. Instead of seeing over 4000 files in the TAR, I saw only 37. Some of the names had 00002 or something similar tacked onto the end. I repeated this several times. I’ve tried it with ZIP format and it’s fine but the TAR format seems corrupted. The strange thing is that the TAR file size is about right. It’s just the contents that are messed up. And it’s independent of the computer. I’ve tried 3 different ones and they all end up with a similar corruption of the files within the TAR even though it looks like everything ran fine.
Has this been noticed before? I did a search and didn’t find a similar problem.

Yes, there does appear to be a problem.
Using the boost c++ library (www.boost.org) “boost_1_32_0.tar.bz2”
from http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=738Extract to subdirectory and then use PA 9.21.00 and create TAR file.
See attached screenshot of file listing.Note: Had to edit screenshot as allowed filesize is too small.
-
For now, it looks like if I have to TAR a lot of files/folders, I’ll have to use something else. For a couple of files then I can use PA.

PA 9.25 - testing with boost files as before-
Compress either via shell extension or from within program (TAR, Store full path) still has the same problem :(Edit, doing immediate “compress to Tar.Gzip” instead of TAR does NOT show the problem :confused:
-
My test case has 304 folders and 2094 files, archiving to a TAR file (not compressing yet).
I simply archived to a Tar and it is not doing the same thing but it’s still not right. I am getting the correct file count but the files have like 0444 or 0000002 as part of the file name (at the end which is sometimes tacked onto the end of the filename sometimes replaces part of the end of the filename).
The folder structure seems ok. And the contents of the files look ok (they’re mostly text-based files). It’s just the file names that are corrupted. And it’s not all the files but just a few. And I cannot find a common link to the files.

Wasn’t sure if there has been any progress with this problem again.
Thanks,

Now have to wait for PA 9.5 … hopefully next month…

Just tidying up -
This is fixed in PA 9.5 (betas).
