RAR

I had some trouble extracting files from a RAR archive today. The freeware version of PowerArchiver usually works fine but oddly, it could only recognise and extract a single 764kb file from the 100-plus MB archive I had downloaded. I tried updating the unRAR.dll file but that didn’t help.

I finally downloaded UnRAR for Windows, a freeware program to extract files from RAR archives. The tiny no-frills utility only has a command line interface — type “unrar/?” to get a list of valid commands and switches — but it did the trick.
