Opening RAR Files please?

[pcohen]

Hi everbody.

Anybody please suggest an app for unpacking RAR Files.

7Zip doesn't do anything.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul,
With respect, 7Zip DOES unpack .rar files.
If you've correctly installed 7Zip (including adding it into the context menu), when you right-click a .rar file, you will see a 7Zip entry; place your cursor on that and you'll see several entries : Open Archive, Extract Files..., Extract Here and Extract to. Left-click whichever you normally do to unpack files.

Cheers,
Ged

Not sure what you mean by adding it into the context menu.

My 7Zip Is located In DriveC: and is not unpacking the Scottish_Central
RAR File.

Thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul
Where did you get the SC rar file from. All of the SC files I just downloaded are Zip files

Hi Paul,
I agree with Mervyn - all my original Scottish Central files downloaded from UKTS are .zip files

When you install 7Zip, if I remember rightly, one of the check-boxes is to include it in the context-menu (right-click) of any file.
As you obviously don't run it via the context menu, how, exactly, do you run 7Zip?

Hi Ged.

I run 7zip directly from drive C: or right click & Download with 7zip.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,
You right-click what? A File? If so, you're using the context menu and when you put your cursor on 7Zip as I mentioned before, you get the different options. I usually use the 'Extract to ...' option because a folder with the name of the zip file is created in the same folder as the zip file.

To be a little pedantic, you DO NOT download with 7Zip, you run the file you clicked on through 7Zip which unpacks it.

Cheers,
Ged
