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:
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1165/
https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-23-1164/
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.
PowerArchiver 2016 not registered anymore after updated to v16.00.56 RC3

I’ve already sent a support request but as I got no response yet I will post it here.
I was using PowerArchiver Toolbox 2016 (probably v16.00.46 RC2) until it updated itself this weekend. When I started PA again it showed me the “trial expired” screen. So I tried to register it again with the key I retrieved about a month ago when PowerArchiver updated itself from 2015 to the 2016 version. After PowerArchiver restarted I still got the “trial expired” screen. Thus the Toolbox registration key that worked for 2016 RC1 does not work for RC3.
Thus I logged in the “Order Recovery” website to request a new key. A few seconds later I got the new key but the new key does also not register PowerArchiver Toolbox (still giving the trial expired screen). I requested a new key again, but still no luck.
Now two days later I requested again a new key, but also this key does not work.
So I uninstalled PA 2016 v16.00.56 RC3 and reinstalled v16.00.43. After installing the older version opens already registered with the Toolbox key.
So it seems somewhere between v16.00.43 and v16.00.56 something changed that makes existing Toolbox 2016 keys not work anymore.Robert

OK, I downloaded several older versions to determine in what version the registration problem starts. It turns out that v16.0.0.50 is the last version where my Toolbox key works. After installing v16.0.0.51 I get the “trial expired” dialog.
Hope this helps in tracking down the problem.Robert

Hi Mili,
I don’t know what ticket number it was. I didn’t receive an e-mail confirmation with a ticket number or any reply (it is not in the spambox). Seems I’ve mistyped my e-mail address in the support form. Sorry.
I’ve sent the mail with the non working Toolbox 2016 registration code in a new support request.
Thanks and regards,
Robert

Hi Robert,
I’ve just sent another email with a question that will help us, we’re in the middle of investigating and figuring out the issue and your assistance would help.
Many thanks again!

thanks for the report. It seems to have something to do with PowerArchiver version you are getting free upgrade from. I have created reproducible ticket in our system and we will figure out until next release. This is only for people who had purchased PA 2011 Toolbox English with BD.
In the meantime, we will add PA 2016 Tbx with 12 months of select to your account so you can continue using latest PA 2016.
thank you!

Strangely I didn’t get your e-mail with your question while I double checked if the e-mail address I entered in the support form was correct. Anyway, I got the e-mail with a new registration key that works. Thank you very much.
The non-working key was indeed from an update from PowerArchiver Toolbox with BitDefender.
Many thanks to both of you!

I had the same issue with an automatic update going from 16.00.46 to 16.00.56. I found the old installation file and reverted to .46. It was still registered with no action on my part. I sent an email to support with more details, but if you need information from another ‘bad’ system I can supply it if needed.
(Question: Does the registration code change each time you request it? I had looked up the email from December with the registration code and tried that, then requested it again to confirm that I had it correct and it provided a different code.)
