BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

@Brian-Gregory I managed to see some of what’s happening via Process Explorer. The Box DLLs are tied into Explorer, and the Free Commander (Explorer-type and based utility) context/shell FCcontextMenu64. There’s also a tie into Firefox, which I guess must also be somehow Explorer-related.

@PA_Fan i would guess thats everywhere where you right clicked and got shell menu.

You can disable their dll from loading by using shellexview

I’m abandoning BoxSync. I’m fed up with it. It just decided it didn’t like me prodding and poking at it trying to get it to behave itself and needs to re-upload a big chunk of my stuff, which it says will take 17 hours. I know this isn’t true though. It’ll take ages and ages and will require me to restart it many times because it times out and says many files have failed to sync. It’d help if it didn’t try and upload dozens of files all at the same time but Box insist that’s how it’s supposed to be and if I don’t like it more or less making my internet connection unusable for any other purpose while it uploads then it’s just tough. I will pay for 100GB in Google Drive.

we had @JRSPowerArchiver report something similar during installation. I would guess it is also due to box install then?

I have also moved thread from alpha forums to main forums so other users can see it.

@spwolf I’m pretty sure that it is down to Box, as everything began working OK after I carried out the .dll renaming and other actions discussed above.

Sharpshell errors no longer appeared in the Event Viewer, either.

I’m still not exactly sure which elements of PA, Box and Explorer were causing this, why and how, but it’s no longer a problem for me (not that I use Box much anyway), and I think @Brian-Gregory has stopped using it altogether.

yeah, i am aware… but there are many other users who cant quite box even if windows version really does seem to be a shoddy piece of software, regardless of PA issue or not.

So next week we will be working around this problem to see if it is fixable from our end.

Thanks!

Experiencing the same thing when trying to deploy PA 2017 with SCCM.
If i run the cmd file locally on the computer it runs the installation smoothly, but when io try to deploy it the deployment crashes.
I have about 600computers that i need to deploy this program to so it would be nice if you could try to fix it.

Let us know if that works OK

Thanks!

keep in mind that PA 2017 is Beta 1 still… by final (in May?) there will also be MSI installation that will be easier to use for business/enterprise installations.
