TC with WinRAR, how to configure?

[TheOwner]

Hello,
anyone configured TC to use Winrar for creating archives especially RAR? Is here any advantage using it over standard Winrar interface? I think Winrar will have more settings than TC. Whats your opinion and how it correctly configure? Thank you.

The standard interface for RAR in TC can only unpack.
For creating RAR archives you have to define the path of your rar.exe in TCs Packer configuration.
This is my entry:
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\RAR.exe"

You can use winrar.exe instead of rar.exe in that location too!

WinRAR works perfectly with TC and support parameters on command line so my config looks like:

Code: Select all

WinRAR.exe -s- -m5 -kb -tl -ts

(WinRAR.exe is in the path)

That sounds excellent. Will be I able to set password which encrypts also file names trough TC interface?

Winrar also supports RAR environment variable, see the Winrar's Help

Yes, with -hp switch.
Check out the winrar help file, all switches are listed with explanation and examples.
