Agreed, the wiki needs updating, but I think there still may be some issues with VS2012 in some cases. If you are building the stable branch, I would use VS2010. The VS2008 stuff has not been supported in a while.
If you need any reference builds, you could always start with the weekly build binaries that Jeff makes. Also I normally keep installs built on the actuall tagged stable releases at
http://download.drknetworking.com.
Also on a side note, Jeff, maybe the default build platform should be set to x64? Does anyone actually run any 32bit OS anymore?
Ed: The reason you are getting that error is that it looks like the VS2008 version has not been updated to download the right vesion of OpenSSL. If you really want to use the VS2008 version just change the URL it downloads to the same version that's in the 2010 or 2012 project files, and it should fix your problem.

I would say the best thing is to compile this in VS2010 or VS2012 (preferably). It's still possible to keep VS2008 on the same machine, both of them will work. I haven't built FS in VS2008 for a very long time, and since it is unsupported in current releases it will probably need quite some work to get it up and running again.
