I am using Godaddy windows shared hosting. IIS is 7.0, so that I can run Wordpress without any problems. But when I use wpmu. The problem comes.
When I add a new blog to my wpmu, in the folder there is nothing. (I am using subfolder) However, the account of the blog is already there.
BTW, I set the right permission for all my folders. ".htaccess" is auto-created.
You need an additional module to support rewriting in IIS, certainly on older versions but I don't think that they've added it as a native capability.
I added the godaddy tag to this thread so you can review previous threads on this topic.

Thank you two above very much.
Question update:
I checked yesterday when I just installed Wordpress not WPMU, I also could not use permalinks. However, today it works very well.
So should I surmise that after set up permalinks in WPMU, I also needed to wait for a few hours?
My another concern is whether permalinks work in WP, so permalinks also should work in WPMU?
Thanks

GoDaddy cache your .htaccess (or at least they used to, so I assume they still do).
So when you edit your local .htaccess file, it doesn't instantly start being used. I think you can work around it though - from memory if you delete your .htaccess file it is actioned quicker than an edit. You can then upload the new one.
jeffbbs,
GoDaddy.com has specific help article that provides instructions on installing WordPress MU. This should help, but if you run into anything else let me know. You can see it here: http://help.godaddy.com/article/5072
Also wanted to mention that we no longer cache .htaccess files. They are now picked up immediately.
