Web application build question

[Bryan Glennon]

What is considered "best practice" for nightly builds of a web application?
Our normal, long-standing practice for non-web apps is to place the build in
a directory named for the current date - something like ..\Builds\20040130.
But I can't seem to do this with a web app, since the output always goes to
the directories referenced by the virtual directory in the IIS server.

Any suggestions?

1. Install IIS on the build machine.
2. Copy the source code to the build machine.
3. Build the web application.
4. Copy the dll to the Builds folder.
