Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can use it as a reference to GoDaddy if they ask for it - perhaps they need to change something related to the system requirements.
And since I'm not using GoDaddy myself I have no clue on how to setup Umbraco on their hosting so I don't know if there could be some clues in order to setup permissions on for instance network service and iusr since I don't know how much control you have on their setup :)
Getting the same error here on the same hosting provider, the only difference being whilst yours seems to be related to a fresh installation, mine is a completed website awaiting release.
I understand im digging up an old thread here that hasnt been posted in for a while but someone may pick this up and be able to offer a little advice?
Whether it's a fresh installation or a complete website ready for release it's actually the same thing since it's the initial deploy of both that reveals the issues on the webhost.
Have you followed some of the previous advice given? Have you been in touch with GoDaddy support to figure out if everything is setup properly in their end?
Ive sorted it, but for anyone having this problem in the future, this is how I did it:
The directory you are uploading umbraco to HAS to be a virtual directory, I was going wrong by making a physical directory, uploading Umbraco to that and then getting the error above.
So....
1. Create a virtual directory from the 'Virtual directories' option within the plesk control panel and check the option to "create a physical directory with the same name as the virtual directory"
1a. Change the permissions for the virtual directory to full control under the application group pool user, you do this by clicking the padlock icon on the same row as your virtual directory.
1b. Change the permissions for your phyical directory to full control under the application group pool user, you do this by navigating to the files window from the 'files' navigation link, hover over the folder row on the right, a dropdown arrow appears, click that, and select the change permissions link.
2. Publish your umbraco installation from visual studio, zip and upload into this physical directory using the 'file navigation window' (Its far quicker than ftp)
3. Now unless ive missed something, and provided there are no other errors your website should show.
Hopefully this helps someone, bit of a faff, but sortable.
Edit / update:
Ensure that your umbraco webconfig contains the following:

I think you need to contact your hosting provider and ask them if everything is setup correctly in order to run Umbraco.
You need to run Umbraco under full trust and I think that GoDaddy as a default is using medium trust.
Also double check your installation by having a look at the documentation: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Jan!
I made sure to change it to Full Trust. I will email Godaddy support and see what they say.
Hi Evan
You're welcome - I've seen people have these issue before where it turned out GoDaddy needed to change something.
Also make sure that the app pool is run by the network service having full permissions.
/Jan
Will do.
Also, I looked at the installation directions but I don't see how they relate to Godaddy?

Can you please add what the web.config should contain?!? Dying trying to get this working!
