File already exists

To view a file, WinZip^® normally extracts the file to a temporary subfolder on the disk, reads it, and erases the temporary file and subfolder when done (if the file was encrypted, WinZip will also automatically wipe the file prior to deleting it from the temporary location). WinZip determines where to extract by checking the value of the WZTMP=, TMP=, TEMP=, and PKTMP= environment variables.

The message The disk file "filename" already exists. Should WinZip overwrite it so that the file in the archive can be viewed? is issued if a file with the requested name already exists on disk. If you choose Yes, the existing disk file will be overwritten, and processing will continue. If you select No, WinZip will cancel the view operation for this file.
