    I want tips of better installers than WinRAR. I tried downloading it a second time and it said, "This function will put your computer at risk." So I want to know if there are more trustworthy and better installers than WinRAR. Some people may think that is should go in Computer Hardware, but it is too late.

    WinRAR is already safe, almost everyone uses it. Including me.

    I don't get why more people don't use 7z. It's really simple yet better. That said, nothing wrong with WinRAR.

    I agree. Though, WinRAR said to buy a liscence in like 16 days or something and I did not know what that means.

    I use 7zip I find it easier to use, and less intrusive with as winrar likes to throw "trial" popups at you.

    you don't need to unzip anything to install a beamng mod.

    windows itself can open/compress .zip files but not much else. 7zip does it better and with more formats that winrar while being free, all round much better, I also like to use .7z to compress files for archiving purposes as it compresses smaller than zip does

    I'll only use 7Zip if they have a WinRAR skin.

    I use 7zip because I don't always need to click cancel when it tells me to buy WinRar.
    (I accidentally 97 mb my winrer)
