Barry,Thank you very much, Pieta. I assume if I were to configure the Silverlight Viewer on my own machine, as you stated in your last paragraph, I would likely need a web server on my own machine to build and test the web application, right?
You have to install the Silverlight Application Builder on the remote server
Can the then access it, eg. http://theRemoteServerName/Builder/
Assuming that you have access to it and that it is exposed in IIS on remote server. You can protect this application through settings in IIS if you don't want others to be able to access it (Not a good idea in any case).
The new application that is created will be on the remote machine and not on your local machine. Will be under the inetpub/wwwroot/apps/...
Once again it can be accessed via, eg. http://theRomoteServerName/Apps/MyNewApplication/
Alternatively you can configure the application on your local machine, deploy it and copy the application directory (using xcopy, ftp, etc) to the remote server.
Barry,Thanks again. The problem I have is that we have an IT policy that we cannot have IIS (or any web server) on any machines but designated servers. But, if I access the Silverlight Builder remotely, as in your first suggestion, I shouldn't need a local web server right?
installing IIS is easy and free. Just enable it using the 'Turn Windows features on/off' in Control Panel
Make sure that all the features are enabled that ArcGIS installation for Application Builder requires.( The link you referred to)

But, if I access the Silverlight Builder remotely...I shouldn't need a local web server right?
