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.
Problem opening
-
Unfortunately, I cannot give you much information here. But the last 3-4 days I have suddenly had trouble opening a number of different archives.
I do not know if the archives are corrupted or if PA has a glitch. But this has happened a number of times now, and it is very disconcerting. I am losing data right and left.
-
can you send us one of these files as a sample?
-
this has been fixed in 14.01.06 - issue with dropbox files where first file in a archive was /.
-
The upgrade has not fixed the problem with reading zIps created via Dropbox.
Still sits there churning saying “Reading folder.”
-
Unfortunately not. Just posted.
-
hm, i tested against file you sent us over - chapters.zip, all works fine?
-
Apologies.
I thought I had updated. It was a bit slow, so I must have hit the cancel button.
Stupid me.
-
most important part - it works?
-
Yes.
Question. Is AC down?
I did have trouble a few days ago; then it worked fine.
Now I am wondering if, when down, I screwed up my PW.
Or if it is down again?
BTW, it is only AC; I can connect to dropbox and google drive without a hitch.
-
try it now, should work….
-
THAT did it.
Moreover, thanks for adding the ability to delete files from the AC.
