Could not load file or assembly 'ImageManipulation' when installing Umbraco on Godaddy

Question

I am installing Umbraco 4.0.2.1 on a client's Godaddy hosting account. I have set permissions to write on the bin, config, css, data, media, umbraco, usercontrols & xslt folders yet I am getting the following error.

Server Error in '/subfolder' Application.
Required permissions cannot be acquired.

Answer 1

Godaddy only allows 'Medium Trust' on its shared hosting accounts. Umbraco requires 'High Trust' to run.

GoDaddy will work, but only with dedicated or virtual dedicated plans, which cost a lot more.

Answer 2

As answered before, the default installation of Umbraco requires full trust, but...

A nice fellow has put together a build of Umbraco that runs under medium trust, right in the Umbraco wiki: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/medium-trust-with-umbraco

The download link is at the bottom and the post has the info in all modifications done.
