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.
PBS problems
-
I downloaded and installed 2011. Loved the new options. Looked great. Loaded fast. Very optimistic.
But my PBS (backup) wouldn’t run. Well. t appeared to run, but didn’t do anything.
Initially I tried running it as was.
Then I “edited” it (not really . . . just opened it and made a faux change and resaved. Still no luck.
Any user find the same problem? Did you find a solution?
-
backup script appears to be working fine on my system…just tested it on a couple of scripts I have.
sorry I know that doesn’t help you.
-
All my PBS are working ok.
Do you have the same problem with a new PBS or is it just your old ones that are not running? -
It is an old one. But I did open it in 2011 to look at new setting . . . and then resaved it.
Perhaps I should have started from scratch.
Didn’t want to try the others since my others reset the archive bit . . . which would foul up my backups.
When I get the chance, I will try to rebuild them from scratch – although for some, that could be a bit time consuming.
Thanks.

Please send us an older script which would not work in PA 2011 to support @ conexware dot com and we will take a look
my old scripts seem to be working fine as well
-
I did. However, since they are now 2010 scripts again,maybe it won’t help.
I need those scripts to move files back and forth from home to work . . . so I had to remove 2011 'til I know this is fixed.
Thanks for your quick and helpful response.

Got it! Thanks for that!
Taking a look now will report via email.Anyone else have issues with older PBS scripts, let us know
