Hi,
Your issue seams related to write permission issues.
If the installation cannot write (update) all files, if some folder are in "read only" ; the update will be just partial and it could generate some side effects.
If the problem is related to the "execution time" limit, you can try the install by FTP, so the "tar.gz / zip" extract won't be required and it will need less time to perform the installation.
