The HaoZip archiver was created by Chinese developers and officially has two language versions—English and Chinese. However, its installer is in Chinese. Enthusiasts from the famous internet portal ru-board.com have fixed this problem by releasing their localized version. Now English-speaking users can download HaoZip in English with a fully translated interface.

During the installation, the Imagine image viewer that is built into HaoZip will be added to Windows. At one stage, the installation prompts you to make Imagine your default image viewer (image files will be associated with it). Decline by unchecking the box if you don’t want to accept this option.

HaoZip’s interface resembles WinRAR in the layout of its buttons and menu items. These two archivers also have similar functionality and features.
