How to install Power Archiver on Windows

First you need to get Power Archiver, download and start the exe-file. 

powarc611.exe

When the installation begins, click next 5 times.

If you see this message, press Yes. 

Deselect "What's New", then press Finish. 

Leave all the boxes marked, unless you want to associate some file types
to other programs like winace, winzip and winrar. 

Optional: Select the Toolbar tab, then choose EXPLORER.BMP as toolbar Skin.
Most new users prefers explore-like icons. 

Optional: It is a good idea to disable "Use image beside menu items...", 
since it will take longer time to right click on a file with it enabled. 

Now press OK. 

Press Yes. 

Select "Never show tips at startup" and press Close

Ok, the installation is complete. 
 

Now install the minor driver/library update that was released shortly after Power Archiver 6.11
Download and install the .exe file: powarc6u.exe
Once you've completed that, You're all set to go!
