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.
Shell Extension removal from 2010 –> 2007

Hello,
I have a license for PA 2007. I installed the newest version (2010) and then went back to PA 2007. In the shell extension are now a lot of stupid entries from the PA 2010.
How can I remove then?
Regards

Martindid you uninstall PA 2010? If so, did you reboot your computer afterwards?
-
Hello!
Yes, of course I uninstalled the PA 2010. I reboot the computer as well. Finally I found a work-around.
- Uninstall all PA
- Install PA 2010
- Remove all shell extensions commands (not disable shell extension)
- Uninstall PA 2010
- Install PA 2007
Thanks for the help!
@ Developers: Uninstall is not proper and leaves some entries in registry or where ever

A much quicker way would of been that after uninstalling the application just remove the following in the registry;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software_PowerArchiver_\
Also remove the PowerArchiver folder in your windows “Program Files”, ensuring their arnt any redundant files etc…
You shouldnt need to uninstall, reinstall, then remove then uninstall and reinstall! takes seconds to wipe the registry and program folder directory.
This should resolve any issues.

thats good advice by sir richard. Windows Installer, when you upgrade over applications several times, will sometimes leave registry key after uninstall because it didnt put it there so it tries to be smart and it fails :).

remembering of course though guys that most users see the ‘Registry’ as the “Black Hole of Calcutta”…:) a terrifying experience for most…:)

Moles42, I totally agree with you. The 1st time I played with the registry I currupt the system and ended up having to format my Hard drive.
However, Should any of PowerArchiver’s customers need advice and support we have a great team of PA Developers, Alpha & Beta testers that are more than happy and skilled to offer advice and guide them through the process should such area be black hole to them.
Obviosly, if you are not comfortable in editing the registry try using registry cleaners that automatically check your registry for redundant threads and removes them.
ccleaner is a well known opensource freeware application that has a good registry cleaning process.

good recommendation Richard…CCleaner is a must have application in my opinion.
didn’t mean to alarm any of the members with the word ‘Registry’…BOO!..:)
