BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

@spwolf:

but you uninstalled the drivers right? Since uninstalling PA wont do anything.

Patchbeam just shows virtual drive version, not actual driver version.

The app I uninstalled via Control Panel was “StarPort Drivers for PowerArchiver Virtual Drive Emulator”, I assume that’s the right one?

The controller I see in Device Manager is ‘StarPort Storage Controller (Lite)’. The drive is StarPortLite.sys with version 3.5 Build 20080111

that should work… how are you unmounting? Did you try via shell or any other way?

I did the unmount via the PowerArchiver gui; selected the Virtual Drive from the ribbon and selected unmount.

Is there a different way to try?

lets try this,
Uninstall Starport drivers
reboot computer
download and install this driver;

why I can not install any games with PA 2012 Toolbox?Is there any solution for this?

[Mili]

Vinko,

What sorts of issues are you having which make it seems like there is something wrong with PA VD?
Personally, I’ve installed some programs/games using PowerArchiver’s VD and it worked fine. Of course, that does not mean it has to work fine for you.

Please let us know some details and we’ll do our best to help.

I want to install the game. I choose .iso image, right click, mount VD and then wait VD and nothing happens….

[Mili]

Vinko,

Please try the following;
Open PowerArchiver
Go to the Burner menu
Click on the Virtual Drive button
You should be asked whether to install drivers, click Yes.
Once they are installed, go back to the same Virtual Drive button and click it, you should get PA 2012 VD working then and the right click option should also work as well.

Let me know if that worked.

Thanks

no luck …. now I have a computer crashes every time when PA VD wants to install software…
how sorry I am that I bought a license for PA 2012 Toolbox

[vinko]

I also tried with daemon tools and Alcohol 120% and even with these softwares I could not install the game and office… what could be the cause of my problem?

[Socrates]

Are you running PA with administrator privileges? If not, the installation may not work.

Or perhaps you are not running the setup on your VD with administrator privileges.

Since this is not a problem I have ever heard mention, I am betting that it is a problem with a setting like those mentioned above, or some other clash on your system.

Hi Vinko,
Were you able to install the VD drivers properly?
If not, here is the direct link to them;

If you have, then what errors are you getting when trying to use the VD.

Also, please do try running PA as admin as noted by Socrates and see if that helps.

[vinko]

re-install Windows 7 was the only solution …. PA 2012 Toolbox is now working very well…

[Socrates]

Glad it was fixed. But what a time-consuming solution. Sorry.

[Mili]

Glad it works Vinko!!

I’d be lost without my virtual drive…:)

[spwolf]

who knows, probably some driver messed up all the virtual drives as you tried them all…. I will be closing this thread so if something else comes up, open new one… thanks.
