Kalju Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Just few minutes ago I wanted to recommend this option to try.I am thinking a little bit, maybe there will be some kind of an idea.Maybe it's some sort of installation package-problem, but perhaps it is some sort of problem with the registry.Something else is hard to imagine.

dcs18 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Just an heads-up - the setting for WinRAR are not stored under the registry, as mistakenly believed (the settings are stored here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
212eta Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Τhe installation package of winrar 5.21 64 bit was modified by someonewho claims that the application was preactivated...Beware of the "Pre-Activated" offerings... ;) Now, I downloaded the latest version from the vendor page and every thing worked fine.Now, you know: Always, use the installation file offered by the official vendor website.
