Author how to use web-services publising wizard from dev machine?

I have the following configuratio. Biztalk 2004 server and all components,
minus the development tools installed on a server. I then installed just the
development tools and documentation and administration tools on my
development workstatation.

I am trying to use the web-services publising wizard. now, I am doing the
development on my dev workstation and I have the completed assembly. I can
copy the assembly to the main biztalk server. When I look at the menu items
on the server, the "Web Services publishing wizard" is not installed. Now I
can only assume that's because I don't have visual Studio.NET installed on a
main server...why would you?

So when I run the web-services wizard on my development box...at the end I
get an error due to "type" being null. I can't change WHERE I want to deploy
the web-service, so it's obviously trying to put it on my local development
workstation....I don't want that.

so my question is....can the web-services deployment wizard be used to
create a web-service on a box OTHER than the localbox? If so, how? Also, is
there some way of getting the web-services deployment wizard installed on
the main biztalk server(not my development box) without installing visual
studio.NET ??

This setup seems very user unfriendly, and I can't believe that they would
expect you to install Visual Studio .NET on a production Biztalk server.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You generate the web service on your local box and the wizard creates an
ASP.Net web service proejct for you (thus the VS.net dependency).
Presumably, you do this during development so you can test your application
and the web service. When you are ready to move into production or test, you
deploy the web service app to that environment using NANT, MSI, XCopy, etc.
