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.

Hi,
I’m testing the new version.
My test system is a VM with Windows 10 1903 x86.
I’m trying to create an archive via context menu. ZIP is working fine, but with 7z and PA format, I get an access violation:
The archives seem to be created fine.
-
Hey @BigMike
How exactly are you attempting to create the 7z and PA archives when the error occurs?
We’ll attempt to reproduce using the same steps -
Hi,
it happens with any file on the desktop. I’m simply right clicking and then “Compress To 7z” or “Compress To pa”.
I noticed, that this won’t happen if the file is located in other folders (I tried a network share). I’m using German localization. -

Actually, I don’t think, I*ve tried this with version .50, so I can’t tell if it’s new or not.
-
@BigMike check with .57, not sure if anything changed but there were plenty of changes:

Still crashing here in my test VM, but if you can’t reproduce it and no other people report similar problems, maybe something is wrong with my VM!?

Hi BigMike,
If you can enable debug logging for your VM and provide the logs of the crash this would be useful.
However, these two Module error handlers refer towards .7z and .pa modules, and the fact that you are able to use the application to Zip without error points towards a conflict in the registry where the DLL’s are concerned.
As such, you are going to want to identify in the logs the DLL’s By name and location that are causing this 1st, and the logging will help with that.
But my feeling would be you try to de-register the following DLL’s , then reboot your VM and try. (The best way is to check the logs, find the actual dlls and de-register them) But we can try the good old fashioned “go by experience and hope for the best” way too :)

Hi RJWaring,
regsrv32.exe /u 7z.dll raises an error, that the file couldn’t be unregistered.
Removing and reinstalling PowerArchiver (I guess, this would de-register them) doesn’t fix the problem. -
“regsrv32.exe /u 7z.dll raises an error, that the file couldn’t be unregistered.”
That might be your problem, what VM Application do you use? Do you have system admin rights?
I can do a bit more digging for you, but in experience 90% its the VM config causing you the problem.
Kind Regards,

Hi, I’m using Oracle VirtualBox 6.0.12 for virtualization.
My account is an administrator with UAC protection, I ran the command from an elevated command prompt.I’m unsure, where to find the problem. The shell extension works perfectly fine in other folders. As I wrote above, the crash happens while compressing files on the desktop.
As I’m using the VM to test new software, the config might be broken and time to set up a new one.
I don’t know, if it’s worth to invest more time on the problem, as no one else seems to have the problem. -
Thanks BigMike,
I hate to say it , VM has a wide range of documentated cases like these the one’s i know of doing what i suggested helps, but not in all cases.
Then your talking more time to investigate, which is when the question is raised why not do a rebuild seeing that this isnt an issue being replicated on other VM’s.
But, it’s not a PowerArchiver problem as i’ve seen this across many other platforms and dll’s.
Sorry i couldnt help further buddy, if you do manage to figuire it out please share we would love to hear from you again.
Kind Regards,
RJWaring
