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.
Dual shell extensions bad idea!!!

I just installed PowerArchiver Professional 2010 11.64.01 and now I have dual shell extensions! :(
There is no need to have dual shell extensions on my computer.
How can I remove them?
Why in the world I want to make more of a mess to my context menu then it already is?
Can you please explain to me why I need to have “Extract” Here and “Extract To” twice in the context menu?

you dont have them at the same time, do you? that could only happen if you had old version instaed next to the new one, instead of overwriting/uninstalling it first

I installed the new one right over the old one. And now have 2 shell extensions of everything.
I am going to uninstall PowerArchiver then reinstall again and I bet that will fix it :)
I’ll let you know the results.

This was strange!
I went to control Panel and Programs and features and uninstalled PowerArchiver and restart my computer and when I get back to my desktop I see that PowerArchiver is still installed. However this time the extra shell extension is gone :)
Why did I not have to reinstall PowerArchiver again?
So all fixed now :)

I guess somehow it had two installations. Usually Windows Installer uninstalls previous version, leaves the settings and then installs new version (this is all during normal installation).
Since we created new shell extensions (before we had same name for 32bit and 64bit), if this uninstall doesnt go correctly, you could be left with 2… this is not how it should be of course :).
Dual reefers to both 32bit and 64bit, but they are never shown together… 32bit shows only in 32bit programs, such as PA or explorer windows when launched with 32bit programs, because then explorer is 32bit too.
