  All I did was search for "WinRAR" on Google or Yahoo etc. and snagged a trial copy from the WinRAR website.  It was easy to find. 

  I dont see a link to it in the tools section of the Editor's Depot. 

  After you extract/inzip this script place it in your ARMA other profiles missions folder. 

  I suggest reading a tutorial on scripts, and SQF's for ArmA from the Editors Depot here.  I'm currently trying to get some old OFP scripts to run in ArmA and these tutorials help a ton.

where is the other profiles folder?

and by the way winRAR was already on my computer

  What Operating System are you using?

  If its Windows Vista then you look under:

Your Account/PC Name

Documents

Then look for folders called:

ARMA Other Profiles

Your profile name (I believe the default is Person or Player)

Missions

  Place your script inside any mission folder that you want to use it.  Then just call the script from the editor.

I go to my documents and click on Arma the there are    missions        saved        ArmA (CFG file)
 
my arma profile  and userSaved

I am using  window professional

Main user profile missions are found under Documents>>Arma>>Missions>>MissionName.IslandExtension
All other user profile missions are found under Documents>>Arma Other Profiles>>UserName>>Missions>>Mission

do i put the scripts in a mission i made

Almost every script within the ED has an example mission. Its probably in your interest to run the example mission first by putting the mission into your missions folder and trying it out. If you're statisfied with the script then you need to move it  to you mission and integrate it.

what does integrate meen?

[hoz]

Integrate... kinda to combine your mission with the script you downloaded.

@50. cal
Yes, all resources that you plan on using in your mission must be placed within the saved mission folder in your users folder.

• Sound
• Music
• Stringtable.csv
• Description.ext
• Briefing.html
• Overview.html
• Images(used by Briefing, Overview, and/or Dialogues)
• Scripts

It may be more organized to create a script folder Scripts and then place all scripts within that folder. Then, when you call a script, you simply add that into the call line such as... [] exec "Scripts\MyScript.sqs"
In fact, the folders within your mission folder are simply to keep your files organized and ease your frustration when sorting them.

LikeWise, you could create a folder for all images. Just be sure to provide the correct directory path for each resource when it is called.
