4.8.4.Upgrade errors - web.config deny & value cannot be null

OK... I think I have done all the recommended steps....

backed up folder structure and database
unzipped the upgrade folder
set the permissions for ASPNET, NetworkService, and the local user
replaced the web.config with the contents of the release.config
reset my connection strings and appsetting strings.
set the permissions on the web.config for the aspnet user
fire up the default.aspx

The upgrade goes thru the following steps.:

Click Here To Access Your Portal

Everything looks good and then the page completes rdnering with the following error even though I know I gave access to aspnet:

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' Application.

Access to the path 'D:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\web.config' is denied.

At this point I am out of options, so I click on the CLick Here to Access Your Portal link and get the following very common error (as follows).

What am I missing?

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' Application.
