What?

Although it was a little expansive, my solution avoids the OP from, on Windows, having to research out and install OpenSSL, provided an easy method of ensuring any testing was compartmentalized, ensured easy return to original configuration, and ensured that they didn't have to manually download individual copies of the Strawberry portable edition if and/or when things went wrong.

If berrybrew isn't a solution to the problem, it's sure better than any manual work that would be required without it.

...or can you extrapolate on what you're saying here?
