7-zip

Most of the people when think of file compression, two software come to mind. WinZip and WinRAR. Both of these software are good, but are not free. So if we are running them on our machines we better check if we are running the legal version.

Compared to this there is 7-zip. 7-zip is opersource and is hence free. It can do everything what commercial software do. Additionally you can unzip ISO’s as well as MSI’s. So if there is a small tweak that you need to do, or if you wanted to find some command line parameters of your installation media, us it.

You can download it from here. Very small in size. Has both CLI and GUI. I have been using it ever since I found it.
