Comment(by peaceablewhale):

 Thanks Ruslan. The new patch works now. I have tested the followings:

 1. Enable permalink when the web.config file does not exist and the folder
 is writable
 => Permalink was enabled successfully and a web.config file with the
 "wordpress" rule was successfully generated

 2. Enable permalink when the web.config file does not exist and the folder
 is non-writable
 => The patch generated a message asking the user to "update" the
 web.config file
 => Question: Should more instructions be given to guide the user how to
 create the web.config file and add the necessary rule?

 3. Enable permalink when the web.config file exists with the "wordpress"
 rule and the file is writable
 => Permalink was enabled successfully

 4. Enable permalink when the web.config file exists without the
 "wordpress" rule and the file is writable
 => Permalink was enabled successfully and the "wordpress" rule was added
 to web.config successfully

 5 Enable permalink when the web.config file exists with the "wordpress"
 rule and the file is non-writable
 => Permalink was enabled successfully and the user was asked to update the
 web.config file

 6. Enable permalink when the web.config file exists without the
 "wordpress" rule and the file is non-writable
 => Permalink was enabled successfully and the user was asked to update the
 web.config file

 7. Disable permalink the web.config file exists with the "wordpress" rule
 and the file is writable
 => Permalink was disabled successfully and the "wordpress" rule in
 web.config was removed

 8. Disable permalink the web.config file exists with the "wordpress" rule
 and the file is non-writable
 => Permalink was disabled successfully BUT the web.config file was not
 updated and there is no notice to the user
 => Suggestion: Add a notice asking the user to remove the "wordpress" rule
 in web.config manually

 By the way, an extra question, does this patch work with URL Rewrite
 Module 1.0?
