Extract rpm/jar/tar/iso in Windows 7

Windows 7-Zip from All Programs Menu
How about extracting .rpm/iso/tar/jar files on windows 7 machine?

Once of the best utilities i have come across in recent years in 7-Zip. I was particularly interested in jar, tar, iso and rpm files extraction. Other than these four  extensions, 7-Zip supports a number of other compression and non-compression archive formats (both for packing and unpacking) including 7z, ZIP, GZip, bzip2, xz and WIM. The utility also supports unpacking APM, ARJ, CHM, cpio, DEB, FLV, JAR, LHA/LZH, LZMA, MSLZ, onepkg, RAR, RPM, smzip, SWF, XAR and Z archives and CramFS, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, MBR, NTFS, SquashFS, UDF and VHD disk images.

7-Zip can open some MSI files, allowing access to the meta-files within along with the main contents. Some Microsoft CAB (LZX compression) and NSIS (LZMA) installer formats can be opened. Similarly, some Microsoft executable programs (.EXEs) which are self-extracting archives or otherwise contain archived content (e.g., some setup files) may be opened as archives.

The utility can be downloaded from here:
