I suggest that rather than build from SQL Server using the GUI build interface, build it from code. It's actually pretty easy, IMHO easier than trying to coordinate the GUI packages to efficiently do what you want them to do. Also, this way you can conditionally build the package.

To get this going, what you need to realise first is that DTS is just a bunch of COM objects, and does *not* require an instance of SQL Server to run (just a license held by the person running it...)

cheers,
Ross.
