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.
Unsolved PA 2017 issues with ACE format (not extracting and not opening file in default app)

I registered because I have some issues with PA 2017 and the ACE format. One of the reason I bought PA 2017 is because it supports ACE. I have a lot of old files in this format.
My first issue is that I can’t extract files from an ACE archive. PA can open the archive so I can see the files inside. However, when I extract the files, PA does not ask for a password, it just makes a folder where the extracted files are supposed to be but when I check the folder, it is empty. My issue is why is it not asking for the password.
My second issue is that inside the PA window, when I double click on a file in the archive, it does not open the file with the default program. When I double click a video file or document, for example, I expect that it would be played in the default program. This does not happen when I click on my files. Again this is in the ACE format.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Is this only in encrypted ACE files or all ACE files?
Would you be able to send us a sample file so that we may take a look?You may upload it somewhere and send us a link at support at conexware dot com and we’ll take a look at it immediately.
Thanks!

@winter I think this might be the issue with 32bit dlls and x64 PA… we can fix it, thanks for letting us know.

@mili, this is for encrypted ACE format. I haven’t tried it for the unencrypted ACE (correct me if I’m wrong but I was under the impression that the ACE format means its encrypted).
I have made an example ACE file for you to try.

@spwolf, @mili, thanks for looking into this. One of the reasons I got PA was because I want to use it on the old ACE format.

ACE is old format that was popular in early 2000’s, very similar to RAR I guess… it stopped being updated some 10 years or so ago… archives can be encrypted or not.
