Steam won't run because of Error, please help!

[rocki34]

Whenever I try to run steam it shows an update window and then comes up with this error:

Steam.exe (main exception): ERROR: delete of Steam.exe failed, Win32 Error 5 "Access is Denied."

I have tried literally EVERYTHING I could find. I've booted in safe mode with networking. I have renamed the files. I have made a new user account. I have unchecked read only on the steam.exe. I have tried uninstalling with revo uninstaller and then installing it again. I have disabled my anti-virus program and windows firewall. I have no idea what else to do. PLEASE HELP.

You have tried everything that we would suggest. So your best option is to go directly to Steam and find out what is going on with their program and why it wont allow you to update. They created it, they should know what is going on with it more than anyone on this site.

Try this link, Steam.exe (main exception): ERROR: delete of Steam.exe failed - Steam Users' Forums. Maybe something here might help you. And if this doesn't work, do what KSoD said. Going to the steam forums is your best bet to fix this.
