Download &
install PeaZip using WINGET
As alternative, PeaZip is also available through new Microsoft Windows'
package manager
winget
- PeaZip can be installed running "winget install -e peazip" command;
-e parameters searches for exact match excluding extra applications
erroneously matching on plain "winget install peazip" command
- "winget show
-e peazip" displays information for the last available version in
winget
package management system
With some versions of winget PeaZip can be installed only
running winget as administrator, due a known winget
install bug applying to various software packages.
PeaZip for
Windows 64 bit download notes
|
Please note that
on current version of Microsoft
SmartScreen, new
packages of PeaZip (likewise many
other software packages) may be reported as possibly harmful software.
The only solution for this issue is to proceed with installation anyway
(with "more info" or other version-specific links in SmartScreen) and
possibly to help fighting false positives reporting the software as
safe to Microsoft.
SmartScreen is a "reputation based" filter solely based on
popularity of a package, and its
rating is not presently influenced by quality factors as the software
being published on a safe domain
(including Microsoft-own ones like GitHub), supported by reputable package managers
(including Microsoft winget) and reported
as
safe by antivirus (including Microsoft ones...).

PeaZip 64 bit archive manager utility is optimized for
x86-64
/ AMD64
architecture and it is
meant only for Windows 64 bit (
WIN64)
compatible
systems.
On recent Microsoft Windows
systems you can check detailed Operating System information of your
device right-clicking the "Computer" icon on the desktop, "Properties"
screen.
These downloads contain
only
free, safe software, Open Source under OSI
definition: they does not
contain third party sponsored
offers (such
as in-installer advertising) or any harmful software.
The application is fully functional, without any limitation: it does
not require product key / serial number / password, it has no
expiration term (by date or number of usages), and no type of "trial"
limiting, nor in terms of maximum number of users / machines /
concurrent sessions, nor in terms of program's features.
The application is released under Open
Source
license LGPLv3, that means this program is free of charge for any
use
(personal and professional, business and government, etc...),
modification, and
distribution.
Download PeaZip
as
MSIX app
PeaZip is also available
as MSIX
app for Windows 10, as alternative
to the classic exe installer which works on all Windows versions.
To install PeaZip as MSIX
app you need to install,
una tantum, PeaZip's .cer
certificate which is used to sign the package.
PeaZip
Windows app
is a full featured Win32 x86-64 software and
requires a full featured Windows system supporting Win32 x86-64 bit
API, like most of the current Windows 10 systems, it does not run on
systems limited to Metro / RT / Modern / UWP / Universal APIs - this is
likely less than a problem now Microsoft is finally bringing full
x86-64 emulation to Windows on ARM.
|
Please be advised that PeaZip MSIX it is
currently not
published on Microsoft Store, but instead Microsoft Store (which in
theory should host only applications that undergo a thorough validation
process, and be closely monitored) hosted and is
still hosting - notwithstanding multiple reports - various scam apps
using PeaZip's name and logo, not preserving license files as required
by LGPL3 license, and hijacking users to third party domains not
connected in any way with PeaZip project: you are
strongly advised to avoid those apps! |
