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:

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.
Compressing .exe files
-
Accept my congratulations for this amazing program.
I like it very much but i noticed that i can’t compress an .exe file to a .7z
directly with a right click using the context menu. Why is that? -
Assuming you have activated the shell option - then you can compress “normal” exe files. Test with the PA program file “POWERARC.EXE”.
Of course, sometimes (already compressed ?) then you cannot - try “_PASETUP.EXE”.
-
its probably because file is already compressed with format supported by PowerArchiver, so it gives you extract options? Even then, you can enable additional shell ext. option to allow you to compress it, but please not that compression ratio will not be high.
thanks,

Dear Sirs.
Thank you for your interest about my question.
I found my answer by unchecking the box under:
Options / Configuration / Shell Extensions / Options / Check for self-extracting ZIP,ARJ,ACE,BH,LHA and RAR files.Best regards

@STJ:
…I found my answer by unchecking the box under:
Options / Configuration / Shell Extensions / Options / Check for self-extracting ZIP,ARJ,ACE,BH,LHA and RAR files…Hi,
It is better to use Options / Configuration / Shell Extensions / Menu Items / Compress to… (for archives) ;)
So you will be able to extract/open SFX archives with shell extantions…
…and compress them…Serhiy
