I get the following IOException :

```
java.io.IOException: Access is denied
 at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
 at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:850)
 at zipUnzipper.main(zipUnzipper.java:41)

```

When trying to run the following piece of code :

```
public class zipUnzipper {
    public zipUnzipper() {
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){

        //Unzip to temp folder. Add all files to mFiles. Print names of all files in mFfiles.
        File file = new File("C:\\aZipFile.zip");
        String  filename = file.getName();
        String filePathName = new String();

        int o = filename.lastIndexOf('.');
            filename = filename.substring(0,o);

        try {      
                ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile (file.getAbsoluteFile());
                Enumeration entries = zipFile.entries();
                while(entries.hasMoreElements()) {
                    ZipEntry zipEntry = (ZipEntry) entries.nextElement();
                    System.out.println("Unzipping: " + zipEntry.getName());
                    BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(zipFile.getInputStream(zipEntry));
                    byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
                    filePathName = "C:\\TEMP\\"+filename+"\\";
                    File fileToWrite = new File(filePathName+ zipEntry.getName());
                    fileToWrite.mkdirs();
                    fileToWrite.createNewFile();
                    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(fileToWrite);
                    BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream( fos , buffer.length );
                    int size;
                    while ((size = bis.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) {
                        bos.write(buffer, 0, size);
                    }
                    bos.flush();
                    bos.close();
                    bis.close();
                }
                zipFile.close();
                File folder = new File (filePathName);
                File [] mFiles = folder.listFiles();

                for (int x=0; x<mFiles.length; x++) {
                                System.out.println(mFiles[x].getAbsolutePath());
                        }
        } catch (ZipException ze) {
            ze.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        }

    }
}

```

It seems to me that for some reason the JVM can't create a new file. The code runs perfectly well if the files already exist. Is there some kind of access file which dictates whether the JVM can create a new file or am I simply doing something wrong?

Any help is much appreciated :-)

I'm running Java 1.4 and have been testing in JDeveloper in Windows XP.
