Wish I *had* much hair left to pull out!
Per my other suggestions, did you try downloading this .RAR file again,
updating your unrar-ing utility, or unrar-ing the same file on a friend or
colleague's machine?
When/where *exactly* are you seeing these characters? You've said:
"after decompression of rar file" - but where? In the extracted file/folder
names? In file contents? File names?
and "when I went to download directly from Microsoft website". Where? - ON
the web page? In the download dialog box? Somewhere in the downloaded file?
You say "the Chinese developer" as if we know who he is and what bearing his
English PC has on the matter!
