Thank you for the link, Jim; however, I've already read this material in my
downloaded copy of the Windows Sharepoint Services SDK and I've been
successful at creating a web app with the source tree on the web server.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help much for packaged products that are
expecting to find Visual Studio .NET and IIS6/WSS on the same machine.

Also, one critical downside that's bothering me about the methodology
published in this document is that all of the source code for my Web App now
resides on the server. And not just that it's on the server, but it's
actually sitting in the Program Files directory tree.

I'd much rather keep the source code on the local machine, and install only
the needed files on the server.
