The most paradoxical example of a purchase is the acquisition of WinRar. " Trial version»Differs from the complete one in only one factor: the presence of an offer to purchase during installation. Therefore, this archiver has become the subject of many comic disputes. However, the effectiveness of WinRAR is undeniable, as proven by over 500 million installations worldwide.
WinRAR is a package for creating archives that is so popular that the ".rar" format became the first synonym for the word "archive". Many do not even perceive other meanings of the word (for example, the place where documents are stored in the enterprise). The very essence boils down to the fact that with the help of special algorithms a document or a directory with documents is written in a different way, which can significantly reduce the space for their storage. The ".rar" format is used for the following purposes:
- storage of documents that may be required later, but are not subject to change in the near future;
- sending groups of documents using different systems (for example, a large number of photos via e-mail);
- reduction of the space occupied by documents on the disk.
Find an Installer

This will download the "x32" version for systems with a 32-bit architecture. It is not much different from "x64", and in fact there is no difference between them. But to be on the safe side, you can find a 64-bit version. To do this, you need to click the "Download" button.
Then click "Download" and wait until the download is complete.
Necessity of purchase

Installation
When talking about WinRAR, only simplicity comes to mind. During installation, the program creates only 2 windows: setting up the installer and setting up the program. 
There are a couple of useful options in the customization window that are worth considering separately:
- Integration with the shell. Allows to embed in the context menu of the right mouse button actions available through the archiver. This helps to avoid running the program when it is needed, but to do everything using the system.
- Interface. Responsible for creating shortcuts.
- List of associations. Useful not to resort to various additional programs. By associating ISO files with WinRAR it will be possible to view images through it.
WinRAR is a file archiver. To understand what it is, consider the following situation. Suppose you have a file that is close to your heart, for example, a music file, on your computer. The volume of this kind of information is always large (experts in such cases say that the file "weighs a lot"), and the file, accordingly, takes up a lot of space on your computer.
It, this place, could be used much more productively, but you don't want to part with your favorite music either. This is where the archiver comes to your aid (in our case, WinRAR). If you do not delve into technical terminology and speak in simple human (one might say, humane) language, the archiver allows you to compress files many times, making them compact and easy to store, and, if necessary, expand them to their original size.

Click on the highlighted line. Now you need to know where you want to place the downloaded file. By silence, this is disk C. The inscription informing about this is in the line at the top and looks like this: C: \ Program Files \ WinRAR... We advise you not to reinvent the wheel and leave this location as the default. If for some reason you decided to reinvent the bicycle and want to place the program in another place - click on the arrow on the side and select the desired folder or section from the drop-down menu.

How Winrar works
To compress a file, proceed as follows: select the file, right-click and in the menu that appears, select Add to archive as (file name). You will see the created archive next to your file, You can add to the archive and folders, and several files at once. Why waste time on trifles?
The folder is archived in the same way as the file. In order to archive several files at once, you first need to select them. To do this, you need to click on required files while holding down the left mouse button and the Ctrl button.
And if the files are located in a group, then you can select them with one click of the mouse. To do this, place the cursor, for example, in the upper right corner of a group of files, press the left key and, while holding it, move the cursor to the lower left corner (diagonally). You will see that the files are framed. All files inside the frame will be highlighted in blue. This means they are marked.
Having moved the cursor to one of the selected files, also right-click and select the Add to archive as menu (the name of the folder in which the files are located will be indicated here).
Now let's fetch the files back. Right click on the archive, select Extract to (filename). You can extract it to the current folder, or you can extract it to a separate one: to do this, select the line Extract to folder (the name of the zipped file will be indicated here). You choose - and in front of you new folder... Go into it and make sure that all your files are in place, safe and sound.
Many programs that we download from the Internet are zipped (packaged) to reduce size. Those. programs are in the archive. Before installing the program from the archive, it must be unpacked (there are exceptions to this rule). Here is an example of installing a program for checking texts for plagiarism, which after downloading is in the archive.
Option 1. Only the ZIP archiver is installed on the computer
So, after downloading, a ZIP archive appears in the downloads folder.
Please note that the zipped file is displayed differently than the regular folder. The zipped folder has a zip lock. We can easily look into the archive folder and see the files needed to install the program in it.
Alas, if we try to start the installation by clicking on the setup icon, then the installation of the program will not start, but a message will appear “This application may use other compressed files stored in this folder. To run the application correctly, you must first extract all files. "
In a specific case, to install the program, you can run not the setup file (setup.exe), but the EtxtAntiplagiat file ( EtxtAntiplagiat.msi). However, in some cases it is necessary to extract all files from the archive, and only then proceed with the installation of the program. To extract files, use the button Extract all(see previous figure).
By pressing the button Overview, you can select the location where the archive will be unpacked. As an example, we will unpack the archive into the Program folder, which we will create on the desktop.
Now you can safely start installing the program. After double clicking on the icon setup the installation process will begin.
After double-clicking on the setup icon, the installation process of the program will begin
If the WinRAR archiver is installed on the computer, the actions will be slightly different.
Option 2. WinRAR archiver is installed on the computer
As a rule, after installing the WinRAR archiver on a computer, it becomes the default archiver, i.e. all archive files will be opened with WinRAR. If the WinRAR archiver is installed on the computer, the archive files look like a stack of books pulled by a belt.
WinRAR archiver is much more advanced than ZIP archiver bundled with Windows. In a specific case, WinRAR allows you to install the program by running the setup.exe file even without unpacking the archive into a separate folder. If you still need to unpack the archive, then in the context menu (called by the right mouse button) you can select the location for unpacking the archive.
For example, if you select the Extract to etxt_antiplagiat \ option, a folder will be created in the downloads folder that matches the archive name, into which the files extracted from the archive will be placed.
If you still have questions about installing programs from the archive, ask them in the comments.
