jdk src file won't unzip

In my JDK file the zip file called "src" won't unzip. It's located in "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_60". When I try to unzip it, I get an error that says, "Compressed (zipped) Folders were unable to create the specified directory. Ensure that the directory does not already exist, and that the path entry is valid." I know that the path entry is valid, so how do I fix this problem?

You need to change the permissions of JDK folder from read-only to modify or try giving full control to the system user/A and then try extracting, you would be able to!

Most likely, its a folder permission problem. I think you're trying to extract the src.zip file into a directory that you don't have the right to write into. "C:\Program Files" and their sub directory is owned by administrator.

Try to extract the zip file to somewhere in your home directory. Create a folder there, and extract the zip file into that folder.
