Can't create archives with Far on Windows Vista.

Post by cdysthe »

Hi,

I wanted to create a rar archive using Far, but when I try to do so I get an error message saying "Can not find executable file 'Rar'. For zip I get the same error, but then the missing file is "pkzipc". I do have a registered version of WinRar installed, but that's obviously not enough. I tried moving rar.exe from the WinRar directory into the Far directory and it worked, but I wonder how this is supposed to be done on Windows Vista? In the Far docs it says you need to get the archiver executable in your path. I seem to remember doing that on XP, but I have no clue how to do it on Vista.
