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.
Error: incorrect password
-
I created a complete archive of my I:*.* drive, and saved it to network storage. Now, I’m trying to extract the archive back to re-create my I: drive after a reformat. Whenever I try to extract or test the archive, I’m never getting prompted for the password that I entered during creation. As soon as I try to extract or test, I get an error popup: “Error: The password is incorrect.” I know what the correct password should be, but I can’t find a way to get the password into the extraction process.
I can’t get this archive to extract, and I need to get my drive back ASAP. Can someone please help me?

How big is the archive file?
What format is the archive and did you use standard password or PAE encryption (simply the archive filename might help here)?
e.g. if Zip -> did you neable >4GB option?
Is the archive a single file or is it split?
Do you have enough “working space” -> disk free space = at least 2*archive filesize?Which version of PA to create the archive?
Which version of PA to now extract?P.S. which version of windows and which format is the drive (FAT/NTFS etc) may also be helpful to know.

1. The archive filesize is 41.3GB and I used standard password encryption (it’s a .zip file).
2. The archive is a single file. I can seem to browse the file just fine in Power Archiver.
3. 9.25.2 is the version I used for both.
4. Windows XP SP2 and it is a 200GB NTFS drive.I did not select any specific options when creating the archive, other than password protect.
I’ve had a little more time to play with this, and offer the following additional information:
I can browse down to the file level in the archive. When I get to open a file, PowerArchiver asks for my password. I enter it, and it asks me if I want to save it in Password Manager. I choose yes, and the file opens just great.Now, if I go into password manager tab in configuration, the archive is listed on the “Passwords NOT Saved” tab…?? If I try and extract at a folder level I get the same error message of incorrect password.
So, I can browse down to the file, and open the file with a password, but I can’t extract the entire archive.

I did not select any specific options when creating the archive, other than password protect.Oh dear… if you did NOT enable the option “Make large Zip file >4GB” then the zip file is probably corrupt/unusable. This would also cause the “incorrect password” message as you can probably only access the first 4GB of the archive.
You should make a copy of the zip file (so you have a failsafe backup), then try “repair archive” but I doubt you’ll recover everything - this may only “fix” it to the 4GB limit.
Maybe someone else can suggest a way to correct/salvage the 41GB zip archive (may involve hex editing - sorry but I don’t know).
This option for large Zip should/will be default in “next version” but that doesn’t help you now - See also http://www.powerarchiver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=888

Do you have enough “working space” -> disk free space = at least 2*archive filesize?
By the way, this was referring to your working/“temp” drive (C: ? ) and not the target drive I:

:(In fact, the >4GB limit was enabled. I fortunately enabled that switch during the creation of the batch.
OK, so I have definitely identified a bug, here.
I was finally able to copy the zip file to the I: drive. Then I opened up PowerArchiver, and used the right mouse button option to Extract To… and set it to I:. It asked for the password, as I would expect, and I entered it. In about 2.5 hours, I had my zip archive restored.
So, the GUI button for Extract does not work properly with a password-encrypted archive.

That’s a relief :D

OK may have found something, a similar problem (but with different format archive) was reported here
