java.io.FileNotFoundException: classes (Access is denied)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:106)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.java:66)

My first guess is that the folder you want to store the JAR file in is protected, and Vista's User Access Control is preventing your Java code from writing to it.

thanks Rob without compromizing my security how would you proceed

thanks

I don't think you can do this without giving up some form of security. You'll either have to disable UAC (which I wouldn't do just for this), or make the folder writable for everyone so that UAC does not need to intervene.
