    Hi,
    i wonder if anyone has the same problem as me,but whenever i try to extract an .exe file from a .rar file to my desktop,a message telling me that there isn't any file to be extracted.but when i checked the inside of the .rar file,the .exe file is still in there.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Is this on ever .exe you try to extract or is it mainly on this one? If it is then you probably have a corrupted .rar file meaning it wasnt compressed right or that it has data missing...

    Sorry for the late reply.All .exe files can't be extracted.But they can be executed.
