test the files you are trying to extract in winISO
it seems like you have a problem with one (or more) of the files

p.s. i assume you actually have all the files?

can you find the volume that winrar needs if you browse the folder the downloads are in?
if you can't find it in there, that is the problem.

you must get all of the necessary volumes to fully unpack the archive.
missing volumes mean it will not unpack (as you have discovered)

go back to where you got the volume you have just now and get the rest of the volumes, then try again
