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.
Duplicate PA items in "Add/Remove Programs"

I upgraded from PA2006 to PA2007 a few months ago, and only today realized that the Add/Remove Programs list in Windows XP shows two instances of PA – PowerArchiver 2006 v9.64 and PowerArchiver 2007.
QUESTION #1: If I click REMOVE on the PA2006 entry, will it remove the current version PA2007? I only wish to remove the old redundant entry in the Add/Remove Programs list.
QUESTION #2: I have a copy of jv16 PowerTools, which will remove orphaned entries in the Add/Remove list. Will removing the “PowerArchiver 2006 v9.64” entry remove also the uninstall facility for PA2007?
How should I remove the redundant entry in the Add/Remove list?

You can use #2 option… If you use PA 2006 uninstall and you installed PA 2007 over it, it will make your life harder :-).
Or you can always uninstall PA 2007, then PA 2006 and install PA 2007 again.

I apologize for the delay in thanking you for your responses. I’ve been having some problems with my username and password on the PA forum. When I tried to reset my pw, my username was changed, and I received an activation code instead of a password. Very confusing.
