Well, the embedded tools were standing beside any Visual Studio product.
VS2005 was the first series, which integrated the Windows CE development
into one platform. So yes, it is different, but not so hard to figure
out. Basically you need to set the PATH, INCLUDE and LIB variables. On a
default installation on Vista, this environment setup should be sufficient:

PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\ce\bin\x86_arm;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\PlatformSDK\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common\Tools;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common\IDE;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\;$(FrameworkSDKDir)Bin;%PATH%

INCLUDE=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\ce\include;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows
Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\include\ARMV4I;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows
CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK\include;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\atlmfc\include;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SmartDevices\SDK\SQL
Server\Mobile\v3.0

LIB=C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows CE Tools\wce500\Windows Mobile 5.0
Pocket PC SDK\lib\ARMV4I;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\VC\ce\atlmfc\lib \ARMV4I;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\VC\ce\lib\ARMV4I

You cannot compile OpenSSL from Visual Studio. Secondly the Windows
CE/Mobile SDKs lack a lot of functionality, which is available on
desktop systems. Thus the wcecompat project was started, so that you (as
a third party developer) can use all your regular knowledge to build
embedded windows applications. For an updated version (as Microsoft
re-included a lot of thing with later versions), see
http://github.com/mauricek/wcecompat/tree/master as described in the
patch mail above.

Same as before. You will need the wcecompat lib to implement errno,
which doesn't exist on Windows Mobile.

I hope this helped a little bit.
