You'd save us a lot of guesswork, and probably get where you want to be 
more quickly, if you would
1) tell us what version of OpenSSL you're trying to build
2) tell us what build environment you're using (presumably some command 
prompt started from VS)
3) tell us the exact sequence of commands you're executing to build it, 
starting from the tarball

Have you read INSTALL.W32? It's probably well out of date in detail, but 
still valuable to point you in the right direction. As long as you're 
using the nt.mak makefile, you should get static libraries.
