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 everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).
New version:
PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.00.10:
Download:
https://u.powerarchiver.com/pa2023/powarc220010.exe
New build for some bug fixes and issues - full list to come with new update. Please test and see if you have any issues.
Thanks everyone for your assistance!
I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023.
PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more.
I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result.
This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.
Hello!
The regular version of PA 2023 is out for over 6 months now, but there is still no sign of the portable release.
(When) will there be one?
Thanks!
Hello!
Is there currently no portable version of PA2023 available?
(When) do you plan to release one?
Thanks!
Win 11 64 bit
I have some archives which have been encrypted, using the encrypt option either in pbs or when interactively creating a zip. When I open these, and look at files, I am asked for passwords, which I know, and then can view items or decrypt the files in the archive (tools>decrypt files).
However, when I use the Actions>Remove Archive Encryption (whether using the same zip or asking to write another), the routine shows progress bar to the end, but then just hangs i.e. “OK” never activates. All process information shows this stalled/hanging.
What can I do to sort this out?
For example:
Download this ZIP file: http://dslstats.me.uk/files/dslstats32W-6.5.zip
Everything in the ZIP file is in a directory “dslstats32W-6.5”.
However when I extract using right click “Extract Here” the name of the directory created is “2W-6.5” !
I am running PA 22.00.09 on Windows 11. I have seen the same happen with some other kinds of archive too.
If I compress a folder to a .pa using right click, Compress to folder.pa and use the new Windows 11 menu then the Options, Configuration, Miscellaneous, Use normal relative path setting is always enabled.
But I like this option disabled so I have to use the old style menu in order to get PA to compress a folder in the way I wish.
PA 22.00.09
344c6c52-f03f-407b-ad76-8130b31936bb-image.png
PA 22.00.09 shows a nag screen, when I try to open some setting windows. I have already PA 2023 Toolbox and PA shows, that it’s licensed in the info dialog.

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.
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?
PA and Vista Ultimate Blue Screens
-
During my installation of PA 2007 I received a Blue Screen referencing the fvevol.sys module.
Since then, my computer will crash every few days with the same error… :(
Has anyone else had this problem?
Is this a know issue with some versions of PA?I enjoy using PA over other software and am very interested in getting this fixed…
Thank you in advance for any help…
-
it runs fine here… I would suppose it is some kind of hardware issue on the computer… Do you know what is fvevol.sys actually?
What exactly do you do when it crashses? (outside of installation).
thanks,
-
The fvevol.sys is the BitLocker Drive Encryption Filter Driver.
When I receive the blue screen, all I do is reboot and it seems to hold for awhile…I do not know if it is related to PA 2007 or not, It was when I was installing it that I ran into the first blue screen, so that kinda stuck in my head…

try installing 10.01 and see if it happens then. There shouldnt be any issues since bitlocker encryption should be completly transparent to applications, there is nothing for us to do.
-
Thanks…
I will update PA 2007 and see what happens…

There is also an Vista compatibility update for many applications that was released today, you might want to download it via Windows Update, if you have not before.
It might help.
-
What time today did it come out?
My system was set to download updates everyday @ 3am.It was after this time that I received the BOD…
-
and you have been receiving only after that? It could be telling. You can check your Windows updates and see if it was already installed, and uninstall it possibly.
-
spwolf,
I have upgraded to the latest version.
However, I think I figured it out… It actually was a coinsidence that when I was installing PA and when the updates were installing, my disk defrag was running. I think when that is running and a reboot is done without stopping it first causes the BSOD…
I will keep a close eye on this to see if these are the facts……
Thanks for your help and advise…
Cheers =)

I am glad you got it figured, althought it should not happen still.
What defrag are you running? Included with Vista or 3rd party?
You might want to report it to their support, so it gets fixed, even if eventually. BSOD should really not happen with Vista.
thanks!

I am running the included Defrag. I can not call support on this since I have purchased an OEM version. Is there somewhere else I can post this for them to see? I have been sending my problem reports to them for analysis.

Hi,
You will need to contact the following:
- If Vista came Pre-installed, then you would contact the system vendor.
- If you purchased an OEM version of Vista not with a PC then you cannot contact anyone for support. However, you can try the Microsoft Forums and Community Message Boards for User-To-User support.
If you were refering to the .dmp files created on error, try attaching them here, or emailing to me at the email in my profile, and I will see if I can help you by reading it and see what is causing problems.
Thanks, Andrew Robinson.
