Maybe your version of unrar.exe is old? Check the winrar website for the latest version (it's free).

Thank you iycgtptyarvg.
My unrar.exe is the latest version. It doesn't matter, the rar file is not necessary for me.

In addition, I solved the zip file (unicode filename) hover box and the preview does not work. The problem is that some parts of my OS are not updated.

Thank you all.

Hello,

I have the same problem of not able to preview the rar file when I hover my mouse over it.

I have follow the steps to edit the ini file to change the path for ZipPathUnRAR= according to where I have installed my winrar.

I got an error message - Unknown command "I" when is hover over the file and hang.

Would appreciate your help. Thanks.

Which XY version?
Show your full ZipPathUnRAR= entry
Show a screenshot of that error

so what is the best way to add archive preview in a portable way with ZipPathUnRAR=?
preferred scenario for me would be to put some dll(s) in XY data folder and properly(portably) state it in ZipPathUnRAR - what do i need for this?

By using e.g.
ZipPath7zip=<xypath>\@Tools\7-Zip\7z.exe
or any other portable path

Downloading: https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1900-x64.msi
Extract the .msi and put the necessary files into that folder
