Deploying add-in developed on machine with Office 2003 to Office 2

Hi, I'm developing an add-in (for Word only) using Vidual Studio 2003. On
the machine where i developed this add-in, Windows 2003 is installed, and the
add-in works fine. I now want to deploy this add-in on a machine which has
MS 2000 installed and have run into some problems. The first problem was with
the fact that 2000 doesn't have PIAs, so I followed the advice of this
article http://www.devcity.net/Articles/163/1/article.aspx and made a dll
from the word 9 olb file. This improved matters some (a simple add-in loaded
and had some simple button click functionality). I've discovered though that
the add-in fails to load when I try to instatiate an object (in the
buttonclick method in connect.cs) which has a word object model object as
constructor parameter (tried Word.Application and Word.Document). As I'm
using some of the core office functionality (commandbutton stuff) I
repackaged the MSO9.dll file in a similar manner to the procedure for the olb
file, but to no avail.

If anybody has any suggestions i'd much appreciate it. Thanks.
