Hi,

SAPCAR is a application which can unzip the SAR files.

To do this:

1. Start CMD (Dos Console)

2. Place the SAR file and SAPCAR file in the same directory

3. In you dos console navigate to the above folder

4. Run command: <b>SAPCAR -xvf "*.sar"</b> or <b>SAPCAR -xvf JIDE19_0-10002804.sar</b>

This will extract the sar file, then go into the extracted dir and run setup file.

Greetings,

Praveen Gudapati

p.s. Points are always welcome for helpful answers

Praveen gives great directions, but I have also found it useful to add the path where SAPCAR is located in my window PATH environment variable. That way you can run SAPCAR from anywhere without moving your .sar file to the folder where SAPCAR.exe is located.
