please make sure, there is no virus scanner or backup software preventing web.config file from being modified by the software.

No virus scanners are installed or running. Also no backup software is running.

Please (double) check the permissions for the app pool identity.

App pool identity is network service. It has full control of the folder for the website.

I don't think its the permission since it was able to reach 81% completion. Is it possible that some process is accessing the webconfig file?  IIS perhaps?
