bearsfan34 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I've downloaded a bunch of .rar files and don't know how to install them. Help please! Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25439-how-do-you-install-rar-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyChris Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 A .rar file is similar to a .zip file, it contains multiple files within itself. Use WinRar if you have it (guessing not) or have the money to buy it, or you can use the free 7zip program to extract the .rar file into it's components.

krawhitham Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 use only the latest version of WINRAR It is still 100% functional after the trial period, 3rd party software it not 100% compatible. I run into people who can not unpack my RARs (normally small files with max compression) all the time unless they use WINRAR Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25439-how-do-you-install-rar-files/#findComment-339430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloppyChris Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Interesting, I was not aware you can use it after the trial ends. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25439-how-do-you-install-rar-files/#findComment-339432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think that annoying box just pops up after the trial period ends. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25439-how-do-you-install-rar-files/#findComment-339433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyMcM93 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think that annoying box just pops up after the trial period ends. Correct, and you have to close the box to extract things. Here is a link to the latest WinRar: http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4...tml?tag=lst-0-1 Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25439-how-do-you-install-rar-files/#findComment-339435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I never actually "open" winrar. I just save the file, then right click and choose extract to whichever folder I want.

boosox Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 or you could get a much smaller program called extract now, it is very convenient. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/25439-how-do-you-install-rar-files/#findComment-339469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
