If you are installing a Windows version of the genie, Windows itself can guide you in the right direction.
The usual "double click" move on a rar file will offer to visit the Microsoft Store for software to handle rar files.
There are dozens of choices. 7-Zip, WinZip or UnRar have been around for a while.Ignore invitations to pay for anything.
Going down the Microsoft Store route means that less risk that you will t end up visiting somewhere slightly dodgy.

The first person (in person) I asked about .rar didn't even suggest WinZip after he gave me the .rar story even after I said: Oh, sounds like WinZip to me.
The good news is my genie is where it belongs on my new machine. Thanks, Michael, for all your help.
