A tar file is for a linux system like rar is for windows.....

Hope this explains where you are going wrong and as this is in the windows section i dont see any point in explaining. If you need it for a linux box then il move this topic or another staff member will and you will soon have your reply

No worries....its a simple mistake to make if you are not familiar with the extension.

download 7zip its for windows and linux. Its free too and is in the download section i think. It will give you a better idea
