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.

Hi,
I am a long time user of PA. I primarily use it to decompress audio files to my Windows Home Server based server. This worked fine until I upgraded to Windows 10 on my laptop, but it is now very slow and unreliable. It takes a long time to bring up the folder destination lists and whilst decompressing often hangs up and occasionally crashes all together.
I have tried remapping the destination drives but this doesn’t help.Anything else I can try?
Best wishes,
Richard

Hi Richard,
A few questions and sorry if they sound odd.
1st when you moved to Windows 10 was this an upgrade or a clean install? if it was an upgrade i would suggest if its possible to do a clean install or a ‘refresh’.
Often upgrades can cause performance issues with applications in general.

Try uninstalling Powerarchiver, Patchbeam and virtual driver from your system, delete the conexware program files locations and run something like CCLeaner (free) using the registry cleaner. Once you have done that download the latest version of PowerArchiver do a clean install (dont restore cloud or prior registry data) and manually set your Powerarchiver from scratch.Reboot your system and try it now.
If you cant do step one you can still do Step 2! If you can do step 1 then install Powerarchiver’s latest version but still dont recover the data from cloud.
You want to try and keep it as clean and fresh as possible. If this doesnt resolve your problem then we can move forward with a few more questions.

It seems your network is slower/unreliable after Windows 10 upgrade. This could happen for instance due to bad drivers. Check if you have latest drivers for your network adapter.
Also check network speed - for instance simply copy file in Windows Explorer between two computers, how fast does it go? Does it often stop?
