Thread: How to manipulate with multiple archives

1. Do not unpack archive files with Windows Explorer
2. Start unpacking first archive file *.zip with "normal" program: 7zip, WinRar, WinZip, Total commander, ....

Program will do what should be done, you do not have to do anything else.

If this is not enough, ask Google how to unpack multi-part archive

When there are multiple parts for an archive with all same extension (eg: .rar), you select the first one to unpack and it knows to find the other parts (eg: myfile.part1.rar, myfile.part2.rar, ... => select myfile.part1.rar)

If there are different extensions (eg: myfile.rar, myfile.r00, myfile.r01, ...) you select the non-numbered extension (eg: .rar) or if it's only numbered (eg: myfile.001, myfile.002, etc...) you select the first numbered extension (eg: .001)

If you are unsure, just try any file and do a "test" to see if it's able to find all parts before doing extraction.

Use 7-zip if you want to extract .zip or .rar with no problem, but if you need to change content of .zip for NNG proggy, you must use old version of WinRAR (such as 3.93)
