As there seems to be no native support in appveyor to unpack archives we have to download unrar before configuring using "cinst unrar" (and some params).</p>
<p>However lately this is failing randomly with errors like "ERROR: Chocolatey expected a file at 'C:\Users\appveyor\AppData\Local\Temp\1\chocolatey\unrar\5.30\unrarw32.exe' to be of length '328967' but the length was '444552'." or timeouts when downloading.</p>
<p>Is it possible to include unrar in the default config or at least any, similarly powerful extractor?</p></div>Alex Grundtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/439963772017-11-09T17:59:26Z2017-11-09T17:59:26ZRar-Support<div><p>Hey Alex,</p>
<p>Why not to use 7-Zip (<code>7z.exe</code> available in PATH)? AFAIK it's able to unpack RAR archives.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/439963772017-11-10T12:35:17Z2017-11-10T12:35:17ZRar-Support<div><p>Perfect! Thank you very much. Maybe document this somewhere?</p></div>Alex Grundtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/439963772017-11-10T22:46:22Z2017-11-10T22:46:22ZRar-Support<div><p>It is actually documented <a href="https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-environment/#tools">here</a></p></div>Ilya Finkelshteyn
