Hi! I've downloaded RAR File Open Knife a few seconds ago and already installed it successfully. Now I would like to unrar a simple example RAR archive to see if everything works.Is there an example rar file that I can use with RAR File Open Knife?

1. Yes, there is a small example file.
2. The file is as simple as possible: it is neither splitted nor password protected and it contains only one file.

1. By default the files are extracted to the default output folder (see next question).

1. Go to the folder that contains RARKnife.exe (probably C:Program FilesRAR File Open Knife - Free Opener)
2. Use notepad to create a text file named 'folder.txt'
3. Just put one line in it with the path of the desired default output folder (e.g.: F:Media)

1. Have you already used the Windows search function to look for the files? Maybe the files were unpacked and located elsewhere?
2. Perhaps there is a typo in the filename of the file that contains the default output folder (e.g. 'foldwr.txt' instead of 'folder.txt')? When there is a typo in the filename, the file is not found by the program and the files will be unpacked into the directory in which the RAR file is located in.
3. Maybe the file 'folder.txt' is empty? If the file 'folder.txt' is empty, the files will be unpacked into the nothingness, there is an OK message ('OK -->'), followed by an error-sound signal, by which you can see that something went wrong. If you hear this sound signal, please either delete the empty file 'folder.txt' or enter a default output folder.
4. Perhaps there is a typo in the default output folder string (e.g. 'F:Medieen' instead of 'F:Media')? In case of a typo in the path of the default output folder the default directory can not be found. There is an OK message (e.g. 'OK --> F:Medieen'), followed by an error-sound signal, by which you can see that something went wrong. If you hear this sound signal, please either delete the file 'folder.txt' or correct the typos in the default output folder string.
5. Maybe the directory name contains Unicode characters (e.g. C:Wüste). Please select a output folder name without special characters.
6. If you are not sure whether your RAR file is okay, download our test RAR file example.rar and try the above suggestions with this file.

1. I just tried to unrar those rar-files that you linked to and experienced the same program behaviour: the pdf file appears for a few moments and then disappears again. I also tried WinRAR - with the same result. Except that it gave an extra error-message, that said that there is a CRC-Error and that the rar-files are corrupted.
2. So, in conclusion, if files appear and disappear: You have done nothing wrong. Knife and RarZilla have done nothing wrong. The rar-files simply are somewhat corrupted and therefore the extracted (but corrupt) file is deleted immediately and thus disappears. If you really need the file you should write to the webmaster and ask him to re-upload it.

1. RAR files cannot be played directly, as they are compressed. You need to decompress the included media file. That file can then be played using winamp or a media player like media player classic.
2. To decompress a RAR file start 'RAR File Open Knife' and drag'n'drop that file on the picture above the short instructions.

1. You do not need a password to use RAR File Open Knife - except the compressed file is protected by a password, then RAR File Open Knife asks you to enter that password.
2. If you do not have that password, you need to contact the person that gave the RAR file to you, because only this person knows the password for this specific file.

1. Go to the folder that contains RARKnife.exe (probably C:Program FilesRAR File Open Knife - Free Opener).
2. Use notepad to create a text file named 'password.txt'.
3. Just put one line in it with the default password (e.g.: p78.de).

1. Go to the folder that contains RARKnife.exe (probably C:Program FilesRAR File Open Knife - Free Opener).
2. Use notepad to create a text file named 'silent.txt'.
3. Just put one line in it with your desired default password (e.g.: p78.de).
4. BE CAREFUL: RAR File Open Knife now always tries to unrar password protected files with the password given in silent.txt without prompting. So, if you try to unrar files protected by a different password, it simply will not work until you delete silent.txt or change the password in it.

1. Yes, there is a small password protected example rar file named example_password_protected.rar (password: 'example').
2. The file is as simple as possible: it is not splitted and it contains only one file.

1. A '.part2.rar' RAR file is a part of a splitted RAR file which you can not unpack without the other parts. Splitted RAR archives will be used if the space on the medium is limited. If so, e.g., a large 700MB RAR archive is splitted into some 100MB parts and uploaded at different hosters. The seven parts are then put back together after the parts have been downloaded.
2. You need to download all parts of such splitted archives to be able to begin with the unraring process, so go and get all the RAR files with the extensions '.part2.rar, .part1.rar' etc. Depending on how many parts have been generated, there may be a few or a few hundred of these '.partXYZ.rar'-type files.
3. If you have downloaded all files needed, e.g., all seven '.part1-7.rar' RAR files, and placed them in the same directory, it is sufficient to double-click the file with the extension '.part1.rar' to start the unrar process. All other files, e.g., the '.part5.rar' RAR file, will automatically be found and unpacked.
4. Done! Congratulations! :-) You have just unpacked your first splitted RAR archive.

1. Yes! The 17 '.part1-17.rar' RAR files together form a splitted RAR archive, which you can not extract partially. Splitted RAR archives are usually used if the space on the medium is limited. If so e.g. a large 531MB RAR archive as a download and there are only a few MB of webspace at different hosters available, one creates a splitted archive, consisting of 17 parts, that is put back together after the download.
2. If you have downloaded all files needed, i.e., all 17 '.part1-17.rar' RAR files, and placed them in the same directory, it is sufficient to double-click the file with the extension '.part1.rar' to start the unrar process. All other files, e.g., the '.part2.rar' RAR file, will automatically be found and unpacked.
3. If not all the necessary files are in the same directory, RAR File Open Knife asks in a dialog for the next file, but it is recommended to put all the RAR files in the same directory to speed up the unpacking process.

1. Yes, there is a small splitted example rar file that consists of three parts: example_splitted_archive.part1.rar, example_splitted_archive.part2.rar and example_splitted_archive.part3.rar.
2. The file is as simple as possible: it is splitted, but not password protected and it contains only one file.
3. If not all the necessary files are in the same directory, RAR File Open Knife asks in a dialog for the next file, but it is recommended to put all the RAR files in the same directory to speed up the unpacking process.

1. It says that your RAR-file killed the unrar DLL.
2. Maybe your file is defect or corrupted or there is not enough memory or diskspace.

1. RAR File Open Knife is unfortunately not allowed to offer a function to create RAR archives, because the inventor of the algorithm does not license it.
2. The only program on the planet that can create RAR archives is WinRAR.

1. Yes! The RAR File Open Knife installer recognizes '/S' for silent installation, '/NCRC' to suppress the CRC verification step, and '/D=dir' to specify the output directory, which is where the program will be installed.
2. These options are case-sensitive, so be sure to type them in upper case.
3. If you use silent installation, RAR File Open Knife is installed with the components from the 'Recommended' installation type.

1. First of all: Close all open RAR File Open Knife windows.
2. From the 'Start' menu in Windows, select 'Control Panel'.
3. Then select 'Add/Remove Programs' (Windows 9x/ME/2k/XP) or under the 'Programs' icon, select 'Uninstall a program' (Windows Vista/7).
4. Select the program named 'RAR File Open Knife'.
5. Click 'Remove' (Windows 9x/ME/2k/XP) or click 'Uninstall' and then 'Continue' (Windows Vista/7) to remove RAR File Open Knife.
6. Now follow the instructions given by the Uninstaller.

1. That's impossible, but you can download the portable version of RarZilla called RarZille Free Unrar Portable!
2. Just extract all files and 'RarZilla Free Unrar Portable' is ready to be used. You can place it on your USB flash drive and use it on any computer, without leaving any personal information behind.

1. No, you don't need any CrackZ, KeygenZ or SerialZ in order to be able to use RAR File Open Knife! RAR File Open Knife is already 100% free and activated (see next question also).
2. That is why you should be really careful with stuff like that. I would rather stay away from people that offer cracks, keygens etc. that are not at all neccessary.

1. RAR File Open Knife is 100% cheaper than WinRAR, because RAR File Open Knife is free.
2. Again: RAR File Open Knife costs nothing, nada, it is absolutely free. Freeware. :-)
3. Note: If you insist on sending some gratitude money, that's okay. Feel free to do that (see next question). ;-)

1. I developped RAR File Open Knife with a lot of excitement and joy. You can show your appreciation by, e.g., blogging about RAR File Open Knife, linking to RAR File Open Knife, recommending it to your friends. Or you might want to compose a RAR File Open Knife song and post it on YouTube!? ;-)
2. Or: You can make a donation in the amount of your choice here.

1. First of all: This is a free program and I'm just one, so there is no way to provide free support for all. Ask a friend!
2. If you still want to email, email me. Maybe I'll answer. ;-)
