PA 18.00.41 and Start Menu

Start menu folder.
At least on my PC PowerArchiver 2018 still uses a Start menu folder called “PowerArchiver 2017”.

@brian-gregory try deleting the program group and simply reinstalling over existing setup.
It should be PowerArchiver group now.
If there was a previous group, it will use it hence the issue.
thanks!

I just tried that.
It just re-created the “PowerArchiver 2017” group but with only one icon in it called “PowerArchiver 2018”.

thanks!

Yes that works. But I had to manually delete the old “PowerArchiver 2017” group. Uninstalliing did not remove it.
This board was semi down again saying “connection lost” earlier so I couldn’t reply earlier.

@Brian-Gregory so in one of the latest versions we now clean up old program group, rename it to PowerArchiver and also delete old shortcut to PA 2017. So now when you upgrade from 2017 to 2018 all is nice and proper on Windows 7 and earlier system. Thanks!
