I've installed ( today's giveaway "2015 version" a year ago? I assume ) here with a whole bunch of archivers, it didn't take over anything that wasn't fair game (e.g. not set/claimed), you can also set your .ext's stuff use to any archiver if you go back into the settings on ea. archiver and tell it what you desire. If someone had NO archiver then this WOULD be the desired behavior to take over unset things. Even if it is taking SET things it's an archiver, reinstall the archivers it stole your claimed .ext's from again. (you should/didn't specify WHICH .ext it steals specifically)

I have a collection of archivers that only a BBS SYSOP would have collected over the years, I got no problems with POWER ARCHIVER. I have 2015 installed for a year, it does not screw up my ZTREE, midnight commander win32, Total Commander, or explorer.exe

remember file_id.diz I used to automate that nonsense.

I also hand edit my ARCHIVER.BB2 (a file to feed the archiver command lines and specs from ztree) because I have a couple extremely obscure archivers.

one that I don't edit by hand Ironically...

So I disagree with the guy who has trouble, I think his trouble is in the settings and docs, or perhaps just figuring out what you really want in life.

God bless I hope you all figure it all out, I've been trying to sort my life out lately.

I have used PowerArchiver since the first time I found it here on GAOTD and it has been a lifesaver. My first computer (Win98 SE) came with its own program but I lost it during a re-installation. Long before I ever found 7zip on the internet this program was the only one I ever could use since WinRAR had to be paid for and had a short trial period. This is my go to program with 7zip as a backup. I've never needed anything else.
The installation was easy. I read the text file and followed the link in the readme file.

Thank you GAOTD and PowerArchiver.

nstoll, BTW I have Windows 10 Home 64-bit.
This is an easy to use program. I don't like programs that make me feel like I have to read a manual to figure out how to use it. I don't care how powerful or fast it is or isn't. It's free to download, will work forever and it isn't complicated to use. I like it.

When you use a compression / decompress software, you are not looking for "power".
You are also not looking for esoteric compression formats. Most people do not use those.
You are looking for ease of use and reliability.
If you already use any other compression / decompress software that served you well and you are very familiar with it, there is no need to change.
.
7Zip and PeaZip are serious rival software.
Both are FREE and portable.
They integrate nicely with Total Commander which make them extremely easy to use.
They are powerful and the most important point is....they are non-intrusive.
.
I had tried the previous GOTD version of Power Archiver and subsequently un-installed it.
Power Archiver is too intrusive and too overbearing.
I do not like the way it seems to “take over” your PC.
By forcibly associating itself with compression formats even when you tell it not to. (Another forum commenter #22 Geni Daltes has confirmed this is true)
.
As to the claim of fast zipping and unzipping.
No one who zips files time the tasks with a stopwatch.
Even if it is slightly faster than others. So what?
Will that make a big difference in your life?

I really like PowerArchiver. It's worth getting. Period. The Toolbox version would have been awesome. However, even the Standard version is great. Go to http://www.powerarchiver.com/powerarchiver/ and click on Compare on the right hand side and you will see a more comprehensive list of features and what is available for each version.

While i like the interface and features of PowerArchiver, it still doesn't seem to have *full* support for the zipx format (the lossless jpeg compression that winzip has, to be exact.. PA will extract WZ-created archives just fine, but cannot compress them as well as it does)

Given a 500MB (524,226,301 bytes) folder of HD wallpapers, I got these output files (max.compression selected every time):
515,809,571 Test_Wallpapers_7Zip.7z
516,917,098 Test_Wallpapers_7Zip.zip
517,240,109 Test_Wallpapers_PowerArchiver.7z
516,955,002 Test_Wallpapers_PowerArchiver.rar
517,194,125 Test_Wallpapers_PowerArchiver.zip
518,790,906 Test_Wallpapers_PowerArchiver.zipx
516,442,724 Test_Wallpapers_Winrar.rar
516,808,235 Test_Wallpapers_Winrar.zip
516,430,336 Test_Wallpapers_Winzip.zip
413,333,575 Test_Wallpapers_Winzip.zipx

As you can see, most are very similar in size, except for the winzip .zipx - which, for me, is the only reason to use that program at all (the user interface annoys me, especially the inability to queue multiple compression jobs - which PowerArchiver *does* do pretty well)

Also, PowerArchiver unfortunately just isn't as fast as the competition, which seems to be because it doesn't make use of all the available CPU(core)s. (especially 7z, using 1 CPU core, where the original 7zip program uses all 4).

As for the giveaway: works as advertised, and if last year's giveaway is anything to go by, will work with any version labeled '2016' (as my license for 2015 doesn't work with this 2016 version)
Thanks ConeXware, it was nice to try your program again :)

Another thing:

After uninstalling it, I have to reboot my computer, to finish the uninstallation. Not something I prefer to have to do.

It may be because PowerArchiver automatically decided to associate itself with all archive types, so that it's logo got added to all rar or zip files. Even though I am pretty sure I unchecked that option when installing it.

Reply   |   Comment by Geni Daltes  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+3)

Geni Daltes,
After you installed PowerArchiver, it most likely added some kind of shell extension like a right click menu item. Therefore a reboot is a must to kill it.

Reply   |   Comment by Robert  –  7 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+8)

Geni Daltes, during install you can decide what file associations that you want. This is why you always do custom installs and check out every option/tab. Also, the default is not all archive types. One click could have told you all the associations available and selected.

This is a disappoinment.

It may be faster than 7zip, but it doesn't compress as well. Doing some tests, 7zip made smaller zip than PowerArchiver.

Even though 7zip uses some more seconds to do the job, it is the results that matter.

PowerArchiver is just a waste of time as it stands now.

I have used this program from GAOTD and ConeXware on other computers and I like it ease of use. I've had it fix problems for my wife when she messed up a few times zipping files and sending the files to the college she goes to. This is an absolute keeper to me I use the free ones out there winrar, Peazip, 7-zip ... I used this one the most and am happy I have it on my new comp. Thanks so much GAOTD and ConeXware for a very useful program. All in all I feel this is the best zipping/compression program on the market. A 10 guys.

I can't see any reason for purchasing such a product.

There are way too many free alternatives out there such as peazip, 7Zip etc that can do just about all that 99% of people would want or need.

Don't understand why we need this. Windows compresses and uncompresses files efficiently. 7-Zip is always free if you need to add encryption or a password, or both. Obscure compressed file types have become rare. Long gone are the days when Windows XP users looked to various software makers for a viable .zip file alternative. Hard drive storage is cheap and plentiful which makes any additional space-saving compression irrelevant. So, i ask why do we need another file compressor?

Dear Mili,

The question that keeps being asked but you never specifically address is:

"Auto-Update functionality is activated in the settings after installation, so do we need to deactivate Auto-Update to keep our free license active, or will the free license still work with coming versions?"

Your response would be very sincerely appreciated.

*** Thank you in advance ***

I 've been a registered user for many years. Never thought I'd pay for a Zip program but I haven't regretted it.

My favorite feature?: Especially appropos for GOTD fans... "open" gives you the option of installing the zip file if it contains an (aptly named) installer. One double click on the download from my browser and the gotd is installing, no manual intervention needed. for me, that alone is worth the price.

Biggest regret?: ziip repair doesn't work for files other than zip (e.g 7zip)

Great program with excellent support...

I unchecked archive files association during the installation, but it set it regardless.

compressing 4gb iso to zip
PowerArchiver ~7 mins
Bandizip ~7.8 mins

compressing 860mb iso to 7z
PowerArchiver ~12 mins
Bandizip ~4 mins

PowerArchiver can compress to: zip, 7-zip, CAB, LHA(LZH), BH, TAR, WIM, ZPAQ.
Bandizip can compress to: zip, zipx, exe, tar, tgz, lzh, iso, 7z.

Bandizip formats more practical, in my opinion.

Someone please tell me why this is better than "7-Zip http://www.7-zip.org" which is FREE and a PICK here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Compression-tools/7-Zip.shtml.

I imagine it has more .zip formats, but am I going to use all those? Probably Not.

Rest assured, PowerArchivr isn't malware. It has, for over 10 years now, and always will be spyware-free and ad-free.
The virtual drive works fine, it rubs mounted ISO's just fine.

I have been thoroughly impressed. I was not familiar with this application or company, so I was not overly optimistic. After reading some of the other reviews, I thought I would give it a try. Download, installation and activation were quick and easy. In the short time I have had for testing thus far, I am impressed. Many options, an intuitive interface and everything seems to work as intended. This is definitely a keeper. Thanks!

Excellent software. One of the few I seek out and purchase. I have purchased and used the pro version for years. Even this standard version is great. Better than any free option out there. And much faster compressing and extracting. And handles anything you throw at it. Love this product and I recommend it to everyone.

In addition to numerous helpful features, PowerArchiver is updated regularly. Features full support through email/live chat/phone/forums where you have a say in PowerArchiver's future development.
Can't hurt to check it out :)

Mili - Conexware, the problem is that this GOTD does NOT grant free updates, so the update advantage is nil.

Downloaded and installed on a Windows 7 partition. Go to the address in the readme, insert code in readme, and after a very prompt confirmation email, a code was sent.
Not much time to test, (its Christmas), but tried a few extractions which were quick and easy. Lots of information and options even in this standard version, so it has replaced my 7 Zip to fully test out.

Many thanks to ConeXware and GOTD, really nice to get a program like this without hassle and strings, so I will keep ConeXware's name in the "frame" Happy Christmas to all.

This has been my favorite compression program for the last several years. Handles foreign language files better than any other I have tested. Very handy preview window for docs, pdf's, images etc. Only thing it lacks is a compressed file repair feature (but it does allow testing).

bunnyb0y, Not true. It has a repair tool. Repair Tool – repair broken ZIP archives with one simple operation. Even the standard version has always had this

bunnyb0y,

Yes, the Tools menu is where the Repair Zip feature is located and it works on Zip format only.

Thank you and Thanks @Bernice

Bernice Jenkins, Well that is just embarrassing. I am so used to just using the context menu for operations I completely overlooked the repair feature. Thanks for pointing it out. Will still need a separate .rar fixer but great to see that PA can handle .zip.

May I ask does the program support wildcards when adding files?

The 2016 has support for compressing files through Windows context menu? No, thanks for your kind "generosity". There are free alternatives out there, maybe even better than this giveaway.

Jacksimms46@yahoo.com, Umm Yes it does.

Jacksimms46@yahoo.com,

PowerArchiver has a very advanced and detailed right click menu. Both for compressing and extracting archived. It's been there for years. :)

Well worth grabbing. License is a personal license and you can obtain the more up to date exe from the web site so you aren't just stuck to today's offer install.

As far as I can see from playing around with it for 10mins it seems to have a lot more functionality than my old version of winrar. So overall it seems a keeper for me. Thanks GOTD and ConeXware.
