So I downloaded this flac file compressed in .rar and I opened it in the latest version of foobar2000, but it says unsupported file format. Do I need some kind of other installation to open it?

I don't think foobar2000 can uncompress files from rar or zip package. You have to extract the file using software like winrar for example.

In addition, foobar2000 can also play music directly from compressed RAR, ZIP, JMA & LHA archives without requiring the user to extract the files prior to playing.

I am not 100% sure, but I think foo_unpack is included in the default installer package, but has to specified at the installation. Try reinstalling ontop of your existing installation (backup would be a good idea) and chosing the component in the installer.
