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.
Backup Script won't run
-
I have been using PA for automatic file backup for years. I recently reinstalled WinXP. I also downloaded PA12.01 and got a new registration code for my Legacy license. Now I have a problem running my backup scripts. I have manually scheduled them in Scheduled Tasks but when a script begins it just starts PA’s backup editor. How do I get my scripts to run silent and unattended?
-
Hello!
From which OS did you switch to XP from?
What exactly happens when the backup editor comes up?
Is there an error message?
If you run then that script manually, does it work OK?
Any other details you think might be helpful would be appreciated.Thanks!
-
I just reinstalled WinXP SP3 all updates. If I click the .pbs script it opens the PA backup editor. If I schedule it in Scheduled Tasks it starts the same way - in the editor
-
OK, I think I have a clue. My Open With file association is messed up. Which program should be associated with a .pbs file in order for the script to run?
-
Associate with “PowerArchiver Backup”.
This is PABackup.exe (in PowerArchiver Program Folder). -
That was the problem. I am OK now. Thanks.
