Quick update, the file didn't exist, as I switched from BAM to this, so it is 100% a PEBKAC error on my end, and I'm lucky I'm techy enough to figure it out.
Still feel that the UX could use some work here, maybe this error needs catching in the script.
Thank you for your bug report! I'll add some better error catching and reporting here, what was the solution in the end to stop this error from happening?

Literally, just manually override the existing web config with a local one. It was a simple fix once I realised it was relying on that particular file.
Gotcha. I have updated it now so it will gracefully ignore the file if it doesn't exist. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, let me know if you hit any other snags!
