WinRAR 7.11

WinRAR is an archiving utility that completely supports RAR and ZIP archives and is able to unpack CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives. It consistently makes smaller archives than the competition, saving disk space and transmission costs. WinRAR offers you the benefit of industry strength archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a key of 128 bits. It supports files and archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size. It also offers the ability to create self extracting and multi volume archives. With recovery record and recovery volumes, you can reconstruct even physically damaged archives.

WinRAR 7.11 highlights:

• If "Add to archive..." Explorer context menu command is applied to multiple archives in the disk root, for example, d:\arc1.rar and d:\arc2.rar, WinRAR will propose arc1_rar.rar default name for a new archive. Previous version proposed arc1.rar, updating one of selected archives instead of creating a new one.

Bug Fixes:

• WinRAR 7.10 failed to update solid archives containing a folder record placed before a file record. It issued the checksum error message and aborted processing. As a result of this fix, this version preserves the original position of such folders after updating and doesn't move them to the end of archive as WinRAR 7.10 did;
• when extracting a file from CAB archive over an existing file, existing files were overwritten, but not truncated. So if existing file was larger than extracted, existing file data had been left at the end of the extracted file;
• if SFX module from "Advanced SFX options" dialog was stored in the compression profile, it was applied as is, even if archive format was changed after selecting the profile. It could result in SFX module mismatching the archive format;
• choosing a value in bytes from drop down list associated with archive dialog "Split to volumes, size" field didn't set units to bytes automatically;
• if SFX "TextDone" command was used together with "Silent" and "TempMode" commands, the completion message was sometimes displayed behind other opened windows;
• if symlink pointing at an executable was started from WinRAR shell, the executable Mark of the Web data was ignored. We are thankful to Shimamine Taihei of Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc for reporting this issue.
