Does Vim come with Windows? No, you need to download and install it.

So you could also download and install 7-zip for Windows.

7-zip is a free software which decompresses almost all common archives in
windows, like .rar, .zip, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, etc...

AFAIK, anybody that does not familiar with vim will not be familiar with
vimball archive too.

I've had 20 collegues in my office who uses vim and none of them knows the
existence of vimball archive.


> I would even ask, what's wrong with .vba?

because .vba file is usually considered virus in windows, it would be MUCH
better change it to another extension.
