I don't think Casini is what I'm looking for (mainly since it's in c# and I
live in a VB world).

Perhaps I wasn't asking my question clearly: This app is very simple. It
just monitors a database and sends out emails based on certain critera in
the DB. It doesn't even need to be "installed" on the system...just copy it
to the machine and run it. So, this is why I wanted to avoid using IIS so
the user doesn't have to set up a new web site on the machine. The app
would just serve up a static page that shows some status information about
itself.
