Erm...Can anyone tell me what is the differences between MSDN & MSDN 2?

I find this very useful for beginner like me to take up learning VSTO.

Btw, those with 32-bits Windows might want to play around with VSTO 2005.

You must also install the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 redistributable package before you install VSTO 2005 v2.0 redistributable package.
