Couldn’t find path to unrar library
- First go to the official RARLab to download the library file (here), then install;
- It is best to choose the default path for installation, generally in the C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrarDLL\ directory;
- Then the important step is to add environment variables. Right-click on this computer (My Computer), find properties, find Advanced System Settings, click Environment Variables under the Advanced tab, and create new in the system variables (not user variables), and enter the variable name UNRAR_LIB_PATH.
Must be exactly the same, pay special attention to variable values! If you are a 64-bit system, enter
C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrarDLL\x64\UnRAR64.dll
If it is a 32-bit system, enter
C:\Program Files (x86)\UnrarDLL\UnRAR.dll
Features
- Supports password cracking on .zip and .rar files.
- Users can choose to crack files individually or crack folders with the optional choice of cracking the folder’s subfolders.
