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.
PA can open 7-ZIP SFXs!

Just out of curiousity I tried to open the 7-ZIP file manager setup exe with PA and it worked! Cool! Please try and get 7-ZIP SFX capability in PA soon!
-
the author is looking into 7 zip sfx capabilities they can open them but creating them will take time as they are updating 7 zip support.
They are the only program to support sfx 7zip outside of the 7zip file manager at the moment.

Actually DavidSplash Zipzag 1.62 supports 7-zip and has 7zip full creation of Selfextracting 7-zip archives already. i have it installed only for that purpose but am awaiting it in Powerarchiver so i can remove it.
-
that program only recently had that support and it is verry buggy i tested it out and compared it with the 7 zip file manager and it came a way below par. It crashes and makes 7 zip archives that do not suppot full unicode and it only uses the old way of creating 7zip sfx files that is a new way that 7 ziup foile manager has.
Powerarchiver is taking its time to get it right not jsut includ it then sort out the bugs as that program has done well seems to have done.
