I don't know what that parameter (c1, c2) does . Anyway I think I have found the problem now.

First without the -e parameter

Code:
D:\PACL_Test>pacomp -a -p -ssecret TestPassword.zip Logfile.log

  preparing to compress...
  adding: Logfile.log   --> Done. [100%]

All OK

D:\PACL_Test>
Then I try extract the created archive using the same password

Code:
D:\PACL_Test>paext -e -ssecret TestPassword.zip

As you can see, everything works fine. Repeat the test with parameter set to -e0

Code:
D:\PACL_Test>pacomp -a -p -ssecret -e0 TestPassword_e0.zip Logfile.log

Everything works without any problem now. The reason for the error message I got was because of this:

Code:
pacomp -a -p -ssecret -s0 TestPassword.zip Logfile.log
I had probably some brain meltdown then I tried this last night , because instead of using the -e parameter I repeated the -s parameter again, resulting in a password set to 0 instead of secret and that caused my problem.

I didn't even noticed this until now when I look at my post to see what parameter that I have used. My apologies for bringing this up. There's no problem with the password set in PACOMP, only brain meltdown behind the keyboard

Kind Regards
Micke
