Windows CE In 1995, Microsoft started the development of the new operating system called Windows CE under the code name Pegasus. The graphical user interface and usability has similarities with Windows 95 and has been designed especially for embedded devices.

Microsoft office excel 2007 notes. I need to install the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 package that works with Visual Studio 2005 because I need to upgrade an old driver that runs under CE 6.0. I understand that Microsoft does not support this CE package any longer and, in fact, they no longer provide the installation files for CE 6.0

I'm not sure if I understood your question right. By package you mean BSP (Board Support Package)?
If you are new to CE, you will need a brief explanation before get started.
The Windows CE 6.0 itself doesn't have exactly installation files. The runtime system is built through a toolkit called Platform Builder. As 'input' for platform builder, you select which components your runtime image will have (including drivers) and as 'output' is created a binary image of your system. You may transfer your runtime image to the device with a few different methods.
Regarding drivers, they usually are distributed through BSPs. BSPs are built by the device maker so you could check the device manufacturer site for BSPs, but you can give a try first on the supported packages search (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/downloads/board-support-packages-for-windows-embedded.aspx).
You can get the Platform Builder Toolkit with a Microsoft Authorized Embedded Distributor or through a MSDN subscription (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/how-to-buy-windows-embedded-compact-7.aspx). The Platform Builder for CE6 comes with a copy of VS2005.
Windows CE6 is currently at R3 (released in 2009) and it is supported (mainstream support) at least until 2014 (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/windows-embedded-roadmap.aspx).
I strongly recommend you to take a look at least on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/develop/windows-embedded-ce-6-for-developers-overview.aspx. I'm not much experienced with CE6 (few months) but my personal experience says that it's a long path to code drivers for CE.

I am a novice to Platform Builder.
I need to know how to work with platform builder.
As I googled I was not able to find where to start from.
Following is what I am looking for.
- What exact tools to download? As I searched there is no tool called as platform builder. So what to download.
- Any books or articles on the same.
- Walkthrough for using the same.

First you need to download the Evaluation Edition of Windows Embedded CE 6.0 (it includes Studio 2005).
Next download R3.
Books are pretty rare. Sam Phung has the only one that is current.
MSDN has loads of walk throughs.
Be forewarned, it is probably the most complex tool you're ever used (unless you've done embedded OS development before) and it takes a long time to get proficient in it. I'd highly recommend gettting actual in-person training.
