Dear Umbraco Folk,

I have followed the instrunctions at http://www.storminternet.co.uk/support_kb_detail.asp?Key=umbraco to install Umbraco  6.1.6 on the GoDaddy Hosting Service but I am getting the following error:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Server Error in '/' Application.

Access to the path 'G:\PleskVhosts\sketchmotion.com\httpdocs\Views\Partials' is denied.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'G:\PleskVhosts\sketchmotion.com\httpdocs\Views\Partials' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in File Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

At home on my WIndows Server 2012 machine I run the following batch file to set permissions to avoid similar problems:

Do I need to do a similar thing on the GoDaddy site ?

And if so is there a way to run a script similar to the above on the GoDaddy hosting service ? 

Altermatively is there a different way to approach this ?

Thanks for your help
