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

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:

As it seems, that PowerArchiver and PACL use the 7zip libraries, could you please update them to the latest version?
Vista keeps asking for admin rights
-
When I run PowerArchiver 2007, even though the link and the actual programs have RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR checked or enabled, it still pops up the DO YOU WANT TO LET THIS RUN continue/cancel question whenever I open a file with PA…
I thought once I upgraded to 2007 from 2006 this would be fixed, but it still does it. And I am logged in as Admin as well. No huge thing, but still annoying.
How to get rid of that without completely disabling UAC?
Thanks for any help
-
Also I don’t have to enter my password, merely answer the popup whether to allow it or cancel.
I am using Vista w/Service Pack 1 but the behavior described here was the same before SP1.
-
thats standard Vista UAC prompt.
If you want to run it as admin, it will ask you each time. That is what UAC does.
You can change that only by disabling UAC. Or disabling starting up as admin.

Don’t you just love Vista ;)
-
there is nothing really wrong with UAC and of course, it can be completly disabled too :-)

Well I run several other programs and I have them set with admin rights and they don’t bug me each time I do something… oh well.
My email is one of them, bugged me every time I started it like PA does now. I set them to run with admin rights (once I figured out I could set that in the properties) and since then nothing. PA is the only program I cannot get to not bug me.

if you set it to run with admin rights, UAC will be activated on every startup. Thats how it works.
I suggest that you dont set it up to run with admin rights and that way UAC will activate only when changing some setting, which should be very rarely…
But complete point of UAC is to activate when you need admin rights.
