If you have any specific problems, I'm sure someone will be able to help.
thanks anyway...
if you want to extract from a winrar archive use unrar.exe. you have it in your winrar folder.
i used it. use it with nsExec plugin.
OJi.

I'm no programmer and have no idea about programming (I thought so, but then I started to learn, and realised, I know nothing).
What I want to do, is to extract a RAR file via NSIS installer.
There were plugins for ZIP files with a commands like:
nsisunz::Unzip "$PLUGINSDIR\myzipfile.zip" "$INSTDIR"
ZipDLL::extractall SOURCE DESTINATION
Brummelchen have linked the unrar.dll, I think it could be great, but I have no idea, what command should I use to extract the files. I could probably find the command name by browsing the DLL, but I wouldn't know how many parameters does it use, or in what order.
(Also, there is a BioWare's DLL, named nsisUnRar2.dll, used in Mass Effect 2 DLC installers which also unpacks RAR archives.)
So if anyone could post a short instruction, like
1. Put <list of files> in <directory>
2. Include <filename> in your script
3. Use the command <command>
Thank's in advance.
Oh, by the way I think there should be an archive support implemented in NSIS, dunno, zip, 7zip or rar, whatever.

I've always found unrar.dll to be severely lacking in documentation. I would recommend using 7za.exe instead, but I don't think it supports rar archives. Zip and 7z it can do, so if you're free in chosing your archive format, I'd go 7z.
7-zip supports unpacking of RAR (but not packing).

Not the basic command line version...Originally Posted by Afrow UK View Post7-zip supports unpacking of RAR (but not packing).
Ah yes you are correct.

Just a note: WinRAR has a CLI unpacker (aka "UnRAR") too.
It's probably easier to use from NSIS (e.g. via nsExec), compared to the plain DLL version.

I was under the impression unrar.exe couldn't be redistributed for commercial applications, but its license.txt just states it's free without further specification. So looks like I was wrong.
Does anyone know how to use BioWare's nsisUnRar2 plug-in?
