RAR Doubt ...

Go to solution Solved by tikker,

In my experience if they are numbered and you unzip the first one it'll automatically find the rest and you'll end up with one extracted folder/item.

Hey guys I just got a huge confusion.

How can I unzip some Zip files which are actually different parts of the same software , all at the same time ?  Each zip file all have files with same names but different contents . Will this Overwrite ???

 

Thanks in advance . ;)

Are these rar files separated in parts? (01,02,03,04 files etc)

I think I know what you mean. Better to select a folder as the extraction point TBH, then go into that folder and unRAR again... only way to do it really, as you said if the RAR contents have same filenames as the ones you are unRARing in the first place it will conflict. Have had that problem a few times, and I hate anyone that uses that form of archiving as it makes no sense,lol

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.
