You'll need a third party app to open an .rar file.

You should use 7-Zip, a free program that can open RAR files. You can
download it at http://www.7-zip.org. If you don't need to create RAR
files, this program will do just fine. After you install it, open the
program and do the following:

1. Go to Tools, Options.
2. Click the System tab in the Options window.
3. Make a checkbox next to rar or any other archive format you might
need in the Extension column of the Associate 7-Zip with: box.
4. Click OK.

You're now ready to open RAR files.
