    dont extract it directly. just open it with winrar or something and double clock the installer, then click okey when it ask you do you want to unpack all needed files for that exe (or something like that). then it all should go smoth... to the point when you start your updating hahahaha
    i am stuck at updating for like a whole day now(24h)
    bwt i presume you downloaded this via torrent right?

    7-zip worked for me...

    WinRAR is trialware, unless you pay. 7-zip is complete open source and free.

    there should be an option to open the file with it after you click right mouse button. just pick 7zip -> open or something. if this fails, just double click with left button and it should be done by auto. (the opening)

    You might have to reboot after installing 7-Zip. It adds a new 7-Zip context menu.
