RAR Files

Sounds like it's not the right file, or it's not for your operating system.

 

Unpack with UnRarX, then select each of the zip files (all) and move them to a separate folder. Then use BetterZip to decompress the (splitted) zip archive. BetterZip helped me with splitted zip files.

Or you can download the application from the developer (trial versions from Adobe, for example).

 

For split zip files I use StuffIt Expander.

 

No, it is just a stupid "protection method" for warez downloads. Unique passwords for the splitted RAR archives are much more effective and user friendly.

Tried with different versions-no success.

 

Might be right about the password stuff. StuffIt Expander does work though, as I just did this earlier today with some VMWare Images from work I needed (they were 16.1 GB Images divided amongst 9 zip files).

 

My take is that you are one double-click away from installing malware on your machine. I don't know what you thought you were downloading, but I'd quit while you are ahead.

 

.EXE files are executable files for WINDOWS, thus the warez you downloaded is for Windows, not for Mac OS X.

 

Good point. Talk about me not seeing the forest for the trees.

 

Like other have mentioned - split zip files can be unzipped using various programs that support them. My preference is iPack from the MAS.
In regards to the setup.exe: any .exe extension is a windows only extension and cannot be executed on a Mac. What you may have downloaded may be a virus or any thing else or even something normal; however, it doesn't matter because the file cannot be executed on your Mac. Of course, if you're running Windows on your Mac, then it can be – hence, I should say OS X and not Mac.
