Delete of steam.exe failed, Win32 Error 5 Access is denied
After a fresh install of Steam on Windows 7 64bit, I got the following error message when it launched and tried to update itself:
“Delete of steam.exe failed, Win32 Error 5 Access is denied”
After much swearing and Googling, the answer was to turn off AVG completely during installation and update of Steam. FFS.
This thread helped.
