Well, if your application would be only one on that server or site you could
use wwwroot folder (Default Web Site's folder) or some other site's folder
because it's application folder by default. It doesn't need to be created
explicitly.

Means that you put web.config, bin/"assemblys" on wwwroot or site's root
folder and still your application somewhere else under those folders for
example that D:\dotnet\PontoNetPT. Application then uses assemblys and
web.config from parent directory (root in this case) because it isn't
application itself.

But I suppose this is quite theoretical and might be difficult to get it
done. Especially if there isn't even permissions to create virtual
directory.
