XAMPP comes with OpenSSL - although there are many mysteries apparently about getting it to work - I suspect its a function of expertise with certificate chains that keeps that being problematic - its on my 'list to learn' in XAMPP but - I'm tooo busy with regular work to go off on that exploration right now.
Maybe some other good soul will help get you up to speed.
Good Luck
