Yeah, that was my bad, I meant to say win rar is the only one I know of that
extracts rar files. I'm mostly looking for an archive utility that will
extract rar files but not overright the basic winzip functionality, as I
need that for unzipping certain archives that so far, most archiving
utilities consider corrupt.

 Hi Shadow Dragon,
 I beg to differ with you. There are several programs that will open 
 rar files besides Winrar. There are free programs like Izarc and Unrar 
 as well as your commercial programs like Winzip that will open rar 
 files. You really need to be careful about blanket statements like, 
 only Winrar will open rar files, because it simply isn't true.

 have to get win rar to extract and play it, unless anyone else knows

 interested in as 7zip doesn't work for rar files either.

Hi Lelia,
Someone has probably answered this before me, but if someone hasn't here 
is my answer. In order to extract rar files you will need an archive 
utility such as Winzip 12, Winrar, or you can get a free archive utility 
like Izarc. Any of the above programs will open and unpack rar files for 
you.

Hi Dark,
That seams to be the case for most archive utilities. Most are able to 
extract rar files, but they won't create them. Since zip is the more 
widely supported of the two formats I've never quite understood why 
Winrar users insist on using the rar format anyway. However, that is a 
different matter altogether.

is my answer. In order to extract rar files you will need an archive 
utility such as Winzip 12, Winrar, or you can get a free archive utility 
like Izarc. Any of the above programs will open and unpack rar files for 
you.

Hi,
I see. So what you want is an archive program that will unrar a file, 
but not override Windows Explorer's unzip ability?
I believe if you do a custom Winzip installation you can go through a 
dialog box to set which file types you want it to automatically open and 
which ones to leave alone or ignore. I think, but don't remember for 
sure, Izarc will let you customize it that way as well. Another option, 
if you like commandline programs, is unrar. Unrar is a little program 
you run from the Windows command prompt that allows you to extract rar 
archives only.



Shadow Dragon wrote:
Yeah, that was my bad, I meant to say win rar is the only one I know 
of that extracts rar files. I'm mostly looking for an archive utility 
that will extract rar files but not overright the basic winzip 
functionality, as I need that for unzipping certain archives that so 
far, most archiving utilities consider corrupt.

Hi Shaun,
So true. Although, I'm one of those people who don't really like the 
Winzip wizard interface anyway. Any time I in stall Winzip I disable the 
wizard and run it in classic mode. Old habbit I suppose, but Izarc is a 
lot like Winzip in classic mode.
Anyway, I think we are vearing way off topic here. Let's try and get 
back to gaming.

Smile.

shaun everiss wrote:

well for all that are interested I use www.izarc.org.
its on my system along with winzip which I love over izarc because of its 
wizzard but izarc can convert archives extract archives and other things and 
its free.
the only disadvantage is the explorer interface  if you want a wizzard then 
izarc will not have it.

7zip has the advantage of being in it's own item on the properties list, and 
the windows options are always there.


alternatively, you can just muck about with programs and file types in the 
correct settings page of the files tab in the control panel.


I personally for example have windows set to always show the zip, rar or 7z 
extention on a file nameto avoid mixing up the zipped folder and the unziped 
one.


Beware the grue!

You can download WinRar from www.winrar.com. It's only a demo because it is 
shareware, but actually if you're just going to be opening compressed files 
that's all you really need. It's also extremely accessible. I've used it for 
many years to open video game music files.
