I am using Parallels Plesk to Host mywebsite on the remote server, while doing installation of DNN I get this error.
File manager shows (Listed below are few of Important Files and Folders)

Make sure, to install DotNetNuke in the root of an IIS web site or a virtual directory. Do not keep any file named web.config in a subfolder!

Besides, please do not post encryption keys in these forums, they might be abused later to compromise your installation.
