Cannot update Spring Tool Suite from 3.6.3 to 3.6.4 on Win7

Trying to update 3.6.3 to 3.6.4 gives the following errors:

An error occurred while uninstalling session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Uninstall, operand=[R]org.springsource.sts.ide.executable.win32.win32.x86_64 3.6.3.201501121239-SR1-e44 --> null, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.CleanupzipAction). Backup of file D:\springsource\sts-3.6.3.SR1\STS.exe failed. File that was copied to backup could not be deleted: D:\springsource\sts-3.6.3.SR1\STS.exe

I tried unchecking all of the providers except e4.4, but that made no difference. I know there was a problem uninstalling from C:\Program Files, but I have mine installed in its own directory on a different drive.

Any ideas anyone?

Start STS and before you start upgrading, rename the STS.exe file you just started, to something else, like "STS_old.exe". That should do it.
