How do I install WinRAR on Windows Vista or Windows 7?
-
-
- Vist BuyRAR.com and go to the latest downloads section
- When you receive the File Download – Security Warning box, select the “Save” button. (NOTE: You can optionally choose the Run option, but this is not recommended as it poses greater security risk)
- The “Save as Type” drop-down should say “Application”
- Click the “Save” button
- Click on the Windows button, and choose your name under your profile image.
- Double-click on the Downloads folder
- Double-click on the file you downloaded from the list (for example, wrar531.exe for 32 bit versions and winrar-x64-531.exe for 64 bit versions)NOTE: The 32-bit version will work in 64-bit versions of Windows, but 64-bit versions do not work on 32-bit Windows. Check your system for the option that best matches your system.
- If the User Account Control box comes up, click on the Allow button
- Click the Install button
- On the WinRAR Setup box, you may make changes to the configuration, but we recommend you leave the defaults for now (you can change them later from inside WinRAR)
- Click the OK button
- Click the Done button
- A window will display with the icons that were added to your Start Menu, which you can close.
-
The WinRAR application can now be run through the Start menu (Windows button) or through the right-click options as you are working with the files.
