Hi

I am running Windows 8 Pro x64 and have problems regarding installation of Winrar x64 version 4.20 and 4.11.
Well the problem is that it wont start the installation at all. Nothing happens when i double-click to install
the app and event viewer isnt recording the event at all. Anyone got an idea how to solve this problem?

Thnx

If all fails:

Survival bare hands install method:
If install fails try to extract the installer with another tool (an older Winrar, a 7-Zip or other archiver that can extract it).
Then put the extracted files in Program Files in Winrar folder and it should work. Then create shortcuts for Winrar.exe and all is set.
Don't worry, this is what the installer normally does but now you are the installer.

Then assign shell entries from Winrar itself. (for right click menu's and archive icons)

Maybe there are other workarounds, but this one works.

By the way, welcome to the forums!

    That's basically it.
Another thought. The installer might probably corrupted? In my experience so far Win 8 seems has no problem with it. ;)
