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?
Powerarc.exe crash (queue?)
-
So i finally had a large number of zip files to unzip and decided to turn on the queue. i right clicked one in windows explorer, selected ‘extract to <zipname>’ and it added to the queue and started going. cool!
i did a second one. access violation FFFFFFFF in powerarc.exe. weird. i tried a few more. those seem to go ok. added another. same crash.
i can reproduce this everytime.
also, a cool feature would be to be able to drag and drop the files into the queue so you wouldn’t have to add each one manually. if you did that it could just default to extracting to the zip path in the directory they reside in? i dunno. just a though. would help me out :P
oh yeah… windows vista</zipname>
-
10.10.10?
-
oh yeah. sorry. 10.10.10
-
good, thank you!
-
32bit Vista, right?
-
indeed! 32-bit.
for being a developer myself i sure suck at giving bug feedback. sorry :P
-
we will check it out… thanks
-
please check with latest internal release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1010.exeand let us know if it works properly now.
thanks!
-
still seems to be broken in 10.11
-
can anyone else please try to reproduce this issue?
thank you!
-
still crashing in 10.20b2
maybe it’s the file sizes? they range about 30-100mb each
the crash appears to come when you try and add another item to the queue before the previous one finishes initializing or something.
-
the crash is in POWERARC.EXE - not PASTARTER.EXE?
-
correct
-
fill out support form and send us e-mail address so we can contact you directly with special test version.
-
I can reproduce this.
-
It’s very easy to reproduce.
here’s how.
1. extract a spanned rar using extract /folder
2. now extract another only very quickly (important).This will make PA crash.
I think some registry keys get overwritten, locked or something.
-
I did some changes and maybe this will be fixed in Beta 3.
-
Please check with Beta 3 preview:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release10/powarc1020b3.exeand let us know if it works properly now.
thanks!
-
couldn’t duplicate this over remote desktop but that runs a little slower. will get some more solid tests this weekend.
thanks!
-
I cannot reproduce the crashes anymore. So that’s a good sign.
