WinRAR 4.00 Beta 2 (32-bit)

RARLab - (Shareware)

The very popular WinRAR compress any file or folder offering the possibility to protect or to recover them in case of necessity.

WinRAR is a reference in the field of archiving data compression utilities. Based on RAR compression algorithm, it can significantly reduce the size of the documents.

WinRAR is very useful when it comes to open its archives in case the user does not have this software because it can create self-extracting archives.

WinRAR integrates with Windows Explorer and allows to compress and decompress files from the context menu. For mainstream users, this feature may be sufficient, but WinRAR also includes more advanced features such as protection of archives by creating recovery volumes possibilities, adding passwords, test archived files or a module for benchmarking test performance by compressing the computer. The encryption uses the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard ) method with a key of 128 bits.

The application is also able to repair a damaged archive when a network transfer was not completed correctly or the storage medium is faulty. But the program is not limited to RAR and ZIP formats because it allows you to view and extract the contents of archives using less common formats such as ACE , 7 -ZIP , CAB , TAR , ISO, GZIP and BZ2 by instance.

- "Reenter password for verification" field is not displayed in password dialog when extracting or opening an encrypted archive. It is present only when archiving and only if "Show password" option is off.
- If you enabled "Use for all archives" option when entering the default password (Ctrl+P) and specified the empty password, extract and test commands will skip all encrypted archives.
- If you prefer to use "Install" button instead of "Extract" in SFX module, but do not need any setup programs, you can add "Setup=<>" command to archive comment or enter "<>" as setup name in "Advanced SFX options" dialog.
* We changed it to "Setup=<>" instead of "Setup" as in the first beta, because presence of specific parameter allows to enable this mode also through "Advanced SFX options" dialog, by entering "<>" as setup name.

# Bugs fixed:
- a) extraction operation activated from Explorer context menu could fail if several archives were selected and processed at once;
- b) WinRAR window title did not contain the current disk name,when browsing the root disk folder;
- c) items related to extraction were not present in Explorer context menu for 7-Zip self-extracting archives;
- d) sorting by "Type" in WinRAR shell did not work inside of archives.
