Hi susin,

For the unix based systems, you can check the permissions for file using the command ls -l,

check the user which your using is having Execute authorization

Hi!

Even not knowing which platform you are working on, first off try to create a file in the directory you are unpacking to. (create an empty textfile in windows or "touch test" when using unix). If this works, you need to check if your user got permissions to overwrite/delete the files in the kernel directory.

If touch fails then you need to adjust the permissions of the directory itself you are working in.

Also make sure the files are not in use.

Regards
