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:
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?
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.

Hi,
System specs:
- Windows 7 Professional RTM x64 (MSDNAA version, German)
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 (2x 2.66GHz)
- 4GB RAM
- PA 2010 PRO, Version 11.60.10 (08/2009) English w/ International reg. code.
I’m currently dealing with several splitted and password protected 7zip archives (filename.7z.001 - filename.7z.00X).
filename.7z.001 is recognized as a “general” archive regarding the shown icon.
If I perform a right-click on it and choose “Extract here” PA quits with an “invalid archive” error:
(click to enlarge)But if I perform a double click, PA opens the archive and recognizes it as a valid password protected 7zip archive and I can extract it.

Hey H4andy!
Did you restart your computer after installing that version of PA? If not, please do so and give it a try.
Also, please let us know the creation/modification date that you have for PASHLEXT.DLL
Found in C:\Program Files\PowerArchiverThanks

Hi,
I’ve rebooted several times and I even tried to reinstall PA.
Here’s the file info:

Thank you.
And which settings did you use to create the 7z file?
-
Hi,
They were created using the “original” 7zip application (v4.65 I guess, Windows XP):
(click to enlarge, Sorry only in German)I think the most important settings:
Ultra/LZMA, Splitted, Password encrypted incl. encr. filenames using AES. -
i think it could be that it wasnt fixed in 64bit shell, we are looking into it.

Reproduced, thanks for the details H4ndy!
