Do we still need unrar.dll in TC11.55?

[MaxX]

28.02.25 Added: Use tc7z.dll as fallback to unrar.dll if unrar.dll fails to load, e.g. on old Windows versions (32/64)

07.05.25 Added: Updated unrar dll to 7.11, removed unrar9x.dll (32/64)

Do we still need unrar.dll (and unrar64.dll) in TC11.55?

Does it work without any problems?
I mean full rar jobs: read, modify, rename, delete, update files inside archive.
Also sfx, multivolume, solid, password protected, encrypted headers.
And all of these options in various combinations...

As long as TC delivers them
I don't see the point to remove it.
Who cares about this small files on a full portable TC tree, of about 800MB with all plugins for me.

Don't forget that RAR.exe (also winrar.exe) is still available to use.

As I have already answered in another thread, I prefer to keep using the original unrar dll from the RAR author. In edge cases like broken RAR archives it may handle RAR archives differently from 7zip, so leaving out the unrar dll may break unpacking certain archives.

Got it. Thanks.
