So if you have a Demo of WinRAR , you will need to ensure it's a demo for v4.20.00 or prior for it to work with 2012. And if you want to test the latest Beta Version of WinRAR V5.00 then the new version of PowerArchiver currently in alpha testing v14.
As WinRAR are still developing version 5 and are treating this as a brand new engine from the ground up which has required the PA team to develop a new script in PA v14 to handle it. I doubt PA 2012 will ever be compatible with anything above V4.20.*
But I could be wrong.

well, things are getting confusing:
1. All versions of PA 2012/2013 will work if you are using rar.exe of any kind.
2. If you are just using PA to extract RAR files, like 99% of population, then PA 2012 works with 4.xx, and PA 2013 will work with 5.xx and below.
What Joakim asked was about was #2... so support for that was added in PA 2013 already, works great, and we will have it out as soon as beta is done.
