Whether you use VSS or not, you would usually build from your machine; I don't see much difference there. In VSS, you would check files out, and check them back in, as needed. It doesn't make much sense to automate that.
For building, you mainly need the command BUILD EXE. You can add some more stuff, as required. For instance, to allow updating the EXE on the server while the users were using it, I gave each version a different number, included in the filename: MyApp0001.exe, MyApp0002.exe, etc. This, of course, I automated through a PRG. Your specific requirements may be different.
