A .qar file is a QlikView extension archive, to be put on your QlikView server. It's just a zipped collection of extension components (Javascript, bitmaps, css files and whatever). You cannot open this in QV Desktop but you can in archivers like WinRAR or WinZip.

Best,

Peter

Stuff your files into a ZIP file, save it and change the file extension from .zip to .qar. Nothing more.

Note that in order to create a QlikView extension archive, you need to observe a few rules (which files, what xml description format, what directory structure) or your archive won't be installable/usable.
