    Question Regarding License
    S
    Hello @Mili, thanks for your help in getting my PowerArchiver CommandLine license (Re: License Code Not Working / Missing) and sorry for my late reply. I do check my spam folder regularly and couldn’t find a mail from support. Also, there was no mail in my backups or any mention of it in my email logs. I have a question regarding my licenses in the hope you are able to help me: While my account lists “PowerArchiver Select - lifetime free upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Toolbox English - Count 2”, this does not apply for PACL, which was included with my purchase. My account shows only PowerArchiver Select - 12 months of upgrades and support for PowerArchiver Command Line - Single User License. Since PACL was included with PowerArchiver Toolbox, shouldn’t PACL also come with a lifetime license for 2 PCs? Thanks for your help in advance.

    PACL 9.0 Beta 2
    spwolfS
    Version: PACL 9.00 Beta 2 What’s New since version PACL 7: Updated to PowerArchiver 2017 engine Fully unicode interface RAR v5 (v4) support PAE2 support Latest format support and all the various engine updates done in PA 2017. Full support for .PA format with many different options and switches. Download: http://dl.powerarchiver.com/2017/PACL900-170429.EXE Due to the support of new PA format and all the changes needed for that support, we decided to move up version number to PACL 9. This is purely cosmetical - companies who purchased PACL8, have PACL9 now added to their orders. Users who have free upgrades for PACL8, now have PACL9 added as free upgrade (Business users with active select (pro/tbx), all personal users (pro/tbx). Since we are finalizing PA 2017, we can also now spend a lot more time on PACL9. Please check your bugs, and check .PA support as well. Thank you! @Alpha-Testers PA Team ConeXware, Inc.

    The PACL does not extract files from the self-extracting archive
    Michael72M
    My OS: Windows XP Home Edition, SP3 The version number and date of the program: PowerArchiver Command Line v9.00b [Feb 23 2019] The program not extracts one self-extracting file. How to reproduce the problem Download the SFX file by link: install.exe Copy the “install.exe” file into the same location as the program is located. Go to the DOS prompt. Make your PACL location the default drive. If it is on the E drive enter the command E: and press enter. Replace “E:” with the appropriate drive letter. Enter command cd e:<path name> to go to the location where the program resides. Enter command: paext32 -o+ -p"install" "install.exe" As a result, the “install” directory will not be created and no files will be extracted. The “install.exe” file may be damaged but if you use a program such as 7-Zip or PeaZip to extract the files, the extraction process is successful. I want the PACL to also unpack such a file. This problem is very critical for me. I often come across this. I do not want to resort to using other compression program. … Michael

    BigMikeB
    Hi, I’ve made changes to fix some problems with PAConv.bat: 1. Replaced the “” by () in the first two lines, so that it’ll work with command line arguments in quotation marks 2. Replaced deltree with rmdir, since deltree is unknown at least in Windows XP and later 3. Also replaced the del command, which left an empty $PATEMP$ directory with rmdir 4. Changed $PATEMP$ to “%TEMP%$PATEMP$.%time::=%”, so that no write privileges are needed in the current directory as the users Temp directory is used and that more operations will work simultaneous, as long as they are not started at the very same time. 5. Changed %n to “%~n” to allow parameters with spaces and quotation marks if (%1)==() goto help if (%2)==() goto help SET PATMPDIR=%TEMP%\$PATEMP$.%time::=% if exist "%PATMPDIR%" rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" mkdir "%PATMPDIR%" paext -e -d -p"%PATMPDIR%" "%~1" echo. pacomp -a -r -p -w "%~2" "%PATMPDIR%\*.*" echo. rmdir /s /q "%PATMPDIR%" SET PATMPDIR=

    I spent many hours trying to figure out how to use PACOMP to add about 50 Gb to a spanned 7z archive with AES256 encryption, and have yet to be successful. I’ve tried every combination of switches I can think of, with no success. Can someone offer a combination of switches that is known to work for this kind of task? All I have been able to make is a set of spanned files that PA cannot open.

    Archive based on age

    Does PA (preferably the CL version) have the facility to archive files based on an age? (I want to be able to move a quantity of files out of a folder and into an archive if (and only if) they’re over 35 days old. I have an ancient copy of ARJ that can do this (via the -odb switch) but I’d like to use PA, and can’t work out if it’s possible.

      @debjaneez:

      While upgrading our application on windows 2008 server R2 64 bit, we noticed that ‘ACE’ archives are not getting extracted on. Both PAEXT V6 and V4 are failed to extract ACE file on w2k8, but it doesn’t throw any error. Those files are getting extracted on w2k3 and windows XP machines (32 bit).

      Also, listing option (-v) gives proper result, but extraction fails.

      Anyone having any idea on this?

      Regards,
      Debjani

      did you try with PA 2010 and how did that work?

I have also extracted the files from the same ACE Archive using PA v 11.64.01 in Windows 7 Enterprise Ed. 64-bit with successful result as the files was extracted correctly from the archive.

**Conclusion:** The problem is PAEXT unable to extract ACE archive using 64-bit Windows.

              Hi!
              I have now tried to extract a ACE archive using PAEXT in Windows 7 Enterprise Ed.64-bit. The test was made with the new PACL 7.00 beta 1.

              The results are the same as with PACL 6.01. No files in the ACE archive are getting extracted. It looks like there’s still problem using PAEXT in 64-bit Windows.

                            Repeated the test using PACL 7.00 RC1 and trying to extract ACE archive in Win 7 Ent. Ed. 64-bit

                            Results are the same as before, no files extracted. I didn’t expect it to work because of Milis comments about Ivan was not able to reproduce it, but it’s always good to confirm that the same test was made with the latest version.

                            Kind Regards

                                Can you see any logic in this? So far the reported problem happens on Win 7 Ent. Ed. 64-bit and Win 2008 Server 64-bit.

                                Have you the same version of OS installed on the 4 machines you have tested it in?

                                If the OS is the same in all 4 machines, then it would be hard to explain why you can only reproduce it on 1 of the 4 machines, but working properly on the other 3. Like you said, it’s an interesting issue.

                                Kind Regards
