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.

You can get it here. 

genie | Product | Support | NETGEAR

 

I'm a fan of just using the browser GUI for accessing/using it.

Do you means the desktop genie for your operating system.

This invaluable tool has several benefits that you won't get using the browser interface.

Yes, michaelkenward, I was looking for assistance with the desktop Genie for my Windows OS.  Thanks for your help.

Grab a copy before Netgear tries to hide it again.

Did grab a copy as you suggested.  Stupid Question:  I'm not familiar with .rar files.  Can you point me in the proper direction??  Thanks.

Learned something new today and that's always a good thing in my book.  Thanks.

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.
