preprardir doesn't work with the latest winrar installers yet?

i tried with 5.70, i get this error:
ValueError: The file is not a valid .rar archive or .srr file.

Which is the latest working 5.* line winrar, if there is one?

In any case, I was trying to reconstruct a relatively recent release Fallout.4.Update.v1.9-CODEX and had tried wrar420, which failed

Thanx

Maybe A New Version Is Needed…

You can extract the EXE and rename it manually. In cmd, for example:

"%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\Rar.exe" x "winrar-x64-550.exe" "Rar.exe" "."
for /f "usebackq" %d in (`powershell "(get-item \"Rar.exe\").lastWriteTime.toString(\"yyyy-MM-dd\")"`) do ( ren "Rar.exe" "%d_rar550.exe" )
rem
