Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) version confusion

Can someone enlight me about the version bindings between VSTO and the targeted office version?

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

VSTO 2005 SE runtime or VSTO 3.0 runtime?

.NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5

Primary Interop Assemblies from Office 2003 (I guess)

In the end I need to tell the IT department of the customer how to deploy the addin using their own script based deloyment system. They do not want to have an MSI package.

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

Wikipedia has a good table of what links with what.
