Go into IIS Manager and completely delete the virtual directory, then manually re-create it and see if that helps. IIS 7.x has two distinct structures that look like one in IIS Admin -- a virtual directory and an application. The application lays on top of the virtual directory. Internally, IIS represents them as two objects.
I think this "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" can happen when those two IIS objects are out of sync, so sometimes it requires cleanup. If a redo in IIS Admin doesn't work, you may need to use appcmd.exe to clear out both the vdir and application.
If the AppPool already exists, it just tries to update the configuration.
