Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) version confusion

Can someone please tell me about version binding between VSTO and target office version?

I am using VS2008 with VSTO 3.0 to build and deploy an addin for Outlook 2003. I am completely confused about what is required on the target machine:

Runtime of VSTO 2005 SE or VSTO 3.0?

.NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5

Primary Interop Assemblies from Office 2003 (I think)

In the end, I need to tell the customer's IT department how to deploy the addon using their own script based support system. They don't want to have an MSI package.

You will need VSTO 3.0 runtime for Office 2007 and VSTO 2005 SE for Office 2003.



Wikipedia has a good table of what is related to what.
