How to install WinRAR archiver in Russian on Windows? How to install a program from an archive Installing the WinRAR archiver

Today I decided to write a note about... how to install the programWinRAR. Most computers already have it installed, and it follows that it is absolutely necessary for normal operation.

Just as we need a browser to work on the Internet, or just as we need an antivirus to work safely on a PC, we also need WinRAR, only to work with archives, which are often encountered when downloading files from the network.

WinRAR archiver is a program that you cannot do without when working on a PC every day. As I already said, very often we come across archives when downloading files from the Internet and need to unpack them with something, we may also need to pack files into an archive, thanks to which we can reduce the space occupied by files, because archives weigh less. If we need to send a folder with files by mail, we will not be able to do this. But by packing the folder into an archive, we will implement this possibility. In one word you need install WinRAR After all, this is the most convenient program for working with archives and benefits from a clear interface.

Installing WinRAR

First of all, download the latest version of WinRAR on the official website of the developers: http://www.win-rar.ru/download.

Be careful when choosing the Russian version for your Windows, most often it is 32 bit.

After downloading WinRAR, we should have one file on our computer; by double-clicking on it, we will begin the installation.

You can select the folder in which the program will be installed, or you can leave it as default. Then click the “Install” button.

After WinRAR installations we will be asked to associate WinRAR with certain file types, which are most often archives. I recommend leaving everything there as default and clicking the “OK” and “Done” button.

Now you can try working with archives. Find some archive file on your computer and right-click on it. In the contextual window that opens, you will see items that are responsible for unpacking files, one of them is “Extract files”.

And if you need to pack files into an archive, for example, if it is a folder with files. You will also need to right-click on it and select the appropriate item - “ Add to archive».

The WinRAR program can not only create archives and unpack them, it can also create an archive under a password, or

Among the dozens of proposed archivers, it is the Winrar archiver that stands out in the background. Installation of the program occurs quickly and without any problems. Immediately after installation you can start working with it. Those who are not familiar with this product will ask questions: “What is its feature?”, “Why is it better than others?” and so on.

5 reasons why you need to install Winrar archiver

1. Reliability. Compared to similar programs, it boasts a packing and unpacking guarantee. In this case, the files will remain intact and will not be damaged by the transfer process;

2. Quality of work. Now it is very important to protect all data, since over the past 10 years the digital world has become so progressive that the value of information has increased significantly;
3. Interface. The power is in simplicity – all the functionality is before the user’s eyes. Vividly distinguished main functions, secondary features for more advanced users;
4. Security. If possible, you can set a password and never return to the issue of confidentiality of your data. This is another reason to install Winrar;
5. Write speed. Due to the high performance of the utility, the time spent on packing files is several times less than that of analogue programs.

Many programs we download from the Internet are zipped (packaged) to reduce their size. Those. programs are in the archive. Before installing a program from an archive, it must be unpacked (there are exceptions to this rule). Let's give 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 an archived file appears differently than a regular folder. There is a lightning bolt on the archived folder. We can easily look into the archive folder and see in it the files necessary to install the program.

Alas, if we try to start the installation by clicking on the setup icon, the installation of the program will not begin, 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 installing the program. To extract files use the button Extract all(see previous picture).

Pressing the button Review, you can select the location where the archive will be unpacked. As an example, let's unpack the archive into the Program folder, which we will create on the desktop.

Now you can safely begin installing the program. After double clicking on the icon setup The installation process of the program will begin.

After double clicking on the setup icon, the installation process of the program will begin

If the WinRAR archiver is installed on your computer, the steps will be slightly different.

Option 2. WinRAR archiver is installed on the computer

As a rule, after installing the WinRAR archiver on your computer, it becomes the default archiver, i.e. all archive files will be opened using WinRAR. If the WinRAR archiver is installed on your computer, the archive files look like a stack of books tied with a belt.

The WinRAR archiver is a much more advanced program than the ZIP archiver that comes 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 with the right mouse button) you can select a location to unpack the archive.

For example, if you select the Extract to etxt_antiplagiat\ option, then a folder matching the name of the archive will be created in the downloads folder, 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.
