Hi! The exception seems to be thrown while opening the file in the BitArchiveReader constructor.

Unfortunately, I cannot understand the second part of the error message (Yanl?? i?lev); this is probably the localized message corresponding to the specific error code returned by the internal code of the library or by 7-zip (and encoded using UTF-8, hence the ? characters, probably your console doesn't use the UTF-8 encoding). You can check the actual error code via BitException::code() or BitException::hresultCode() to find the cause of the exception.

Anyway, from my experience, I can think of some possible issues that can cause exceptions while reading .rar files:

• There are actually two RAR formats: Rar4 (BitFormat::Rar) and Rar5 (BitFormat::Rar5), both using the same .rar file extension.
  • Please check that the format of the archive you're trying to read matches the BitFormat you pass to BitArchiveReader (or simply test your code using BitFormat::Rar5: if it works, it means that your archive uses the Rar5 format).
• Not all 7-zip DLLs support the RAR formats: generally, 7z.dll should support them, but since you downloaded it from Google, maybe it wasn't a "standard" 7z.dll.

After changing rar to rar5 it worked succesfully ! Is it possible to run it without 7z.dll? I would like to, thank you soo much for making this library.It's really usefull.

You're welcome! It's great to hear that it worked for you! :) As for running it without the 7z.dll, unfortunately, it's not possible right now. I will probably add it in the future, but not in the short term; for now, I'm more concentrated on improving the API and adding other features.
