Steam.exe (main exception): ERROR: delete of Steam.exe failed

I've had occasion to reinstall Steam, but when I do so I get the following error message:

Code:
Steam.exe (main exception): ERROR: delete of Steam.exe failed, Win32 Error 5 "Access is denied"
Specifically, Steam will install and then attempt an update. The update will terminate at 27% with the above error message. This is in Windows 7 64-bit, under an administrator account.

Any thoughts?
