Once again, I'm going to feel like a noob for asking this. I've finished a game that I like, but I have to get it on the internet. How I upload you can only send one file at a time. So, I decided to get Vishnu Packer. Sounded pretty cool. I click the link, hit download and waited. I eagerly smashed my mouse on my downloads list to find..... "Windows can not open this file." I look at the file, and I see the dreaded 3 letters. R. A. R. Ugh. Can anyone tell me how to open RAR files? I've tried a program called 7zip, but I never even found the program after download, so a few crazy viruses are probably rampaging around my stored passwords list.

HELP!

Make it so.

go to your program files to find 7zips install directory.
open the 7zip file manager
browse for your file
select it, click extract
tell which directory you want to extract to (I just do the default, or the desktop)
close 7zip
play game

7zip is best zip.

or you can download Install creator, And it will guide you through the whole process + you will get an installer.exe for your game so other people can download and play your game,

in other ways make sure

winrar is also installed,

Or use unzip for windows, as it is free and deals with RAR files.
