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.
10.2 Broken Under Vista!

I wasn’t having any problems until I upgraded to 10.2. Now I have all sorts of problems. Some examples:
I tried to extract the MSDN .iso of Outlook 2007 and PowerArchiver extracts the first 3.5 MB of 250 MB and then just exits as if it’s done. No error dialog, just a partial directory of extracted files.
I try to archive a directory (from the Vista shell) with multiple folders and PowerArchiver doesn’t do anything and exits. I try creating a new archive manually, select the same folders withing PA to add them, but it won’t add them! This same set of folders archives perfectly with PeaZip.
Doing simple things, PA seems to work OK. But anything involving more than a few MB of data, it seems to fail? Again, the old version worked fine. Can I still download it anywhere?
I tried uninstalling and re-installing with no change.
Anyone else have any suggestions besides getting my money back and just using the opensource PeaZip (which doesn’t support ISO files)?
-
what version of PA did you upgrade from?
-
I’ve been getting the auto updates along the way. So I’m not sure what the previous version was before 10.20?

try uninstalling and installing again and restarting your computer.
If that doesnt help - what compression format are you using and how big are those folders? What do you mean by using “Vista shell?”.
thanks!
