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.
Empty ConeXware folder
-
Whenever I open an archive file, Power Archiver creates an empy folder called ConeXware and several other subfolders of that one in the directory where I am opening the archived file. Is there a way to make it stop doing that? It seems to be related the skins as the subfolder names are as follows:
ConeXware
└ Plugins
└ Secure
└ Skins
:confused: -
what version of PA is doing this? Thanks!
-
version 12.11.02

Hi Ghendric!
I’ve been trying to reproduce this somehow but no luck…
Could you please provide some details as to how to reproduce it?
What kind of a file are you opening? How are you opening it? Exactly when do these folders appear? Etc.
Anything that will help reproduce it and we will log it in for fixing.
Thanks! -
i vaguely remember someone reporting something similar, years ago, and it was something to do with registry permissions.
Do you have some kind of closed system that you run PA, or is it just run of the mill Windows installation.
And what version of Windows do you use? Thanks!
-
Its running on Windows 7 64 bit. The registry permissions thing makes sense. The pc is on a network and there are policies in place. It could be that it doesn’t have the permission or the permissions are kind of screwed up. I have been having issues with that lately on the PC… That’s what happens when somebody tries to “fix stuff”…
I am an admin on the pc so I should be able to set the registry permissions. What should I check?
-
check HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver at least, click on properties and make sure you have full permissions there.
We will start there, and if that doesnt work, I have to talk to dev team to see what could it be. It is nothing obvious, and even for engineers it is not something obvious :-)
-
I checked that registry key and I have full access. That wasn’t it…
-
Ok, so we have had another member sends us more info:
The regkey : HKLM\software\microsoft\windowsq\current version\explorer\shell folders\common appdata
is empty (due to policies I presume).check it out… it is: C:\ProgramData for me.
thanks! and thanks to the member sending us info!!!

Mine is set to C:\ProgramData. I’m still getting an empty folder whenever I open an archive file.

Did you check permissions for that registry key, are they readable?

Yes and I have full permissions on them… I am running Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise edition if that helps…

Ok, I noticed something… if I select a bunch of files in windows explorer, right click and create a new archive file, the folder doesn’t get created in that folder. However; if I open an archive file, the folder gets created in the directory of the archive file that I’m opening… So it’s happening on Open and not Create…
