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.
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

Hi there,
there were some security issues fixed in 7zip:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/

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.
Only zip works in backupexpress lite

i do have a problem choosing any other compression method than zip in backup express lite. only zip starts the backup, any other method doesn’t do anything? it worked before (using a scheduled task) but checking back after days it didn’t start any more, something to do with the update to the latest version? i really need tar gzip as compression, but it just doesn’t do anything if i start the script manually or if i click on “do backup” after editing a script (absolutely nothing happens).
-
Just tried manually starting an old PBS script (Blakhole) - this worked.
Then created a new script (Tar.Gz) - also worked.PA 9.50.01
What happens if you create a completely new script (not editing an existing one)?
-
if i click on “do backup” at the end, it just doesn’t start. it just closes the dialogue and nothing happens. it only works with zip. perhaps important to mention that i’m using windows server 2003? argh, it worked once and i have absolutely no idea why it just doesn’t work anymore.

Maybe Win2003 - I am on Windows Xp.
If you look at the pbs file contents (e.g. open in NotePad), does it seem correct? Could you post it?

Just a thought to verify this is not a filename/workspace problem.
If you compress (Tar.Gz) the same files/folders to the same destination using PA (e.g. via context menu) instead of PBS, does it complete OK?
-
If you do not have many files, try deleting each one of them from the list to determine what is causing the problem.
thanks,

ok, i manually edited the pbs file, and it works now. so it seems to be a bug related to the backup express interface unable to edit the pbs file correctly. i’ll do all future pbs jobs now with a simple plain text editor. no hassle any more :)
