I just spent a number of hours grappling with this. The correct answer is

"indeed to put the cacert.pem file and amend the php.ini file to match as suggested by Moez above. ..... but I kept on getting CURL error 60's The trick was getting a clean copy of the PEM file! Any method involving windows notepad or other editors corrupts the file and gives the cURL error 60 etc. Finally I found https://gist.github.com/VersatilityWerks/5719158/download and downloaded a tar file with a clean copy of the cacert.pem file ...... it then all worked perfectly."

And since you are working on Windows, this could be the problem.
