This has been fixed in today's MS4W 4.0.0 (and MS4W 3.3.1) releases. Essentially:

    MS4W's MapCache module will check for this CURL_CA_BUNDLE value set in
    Apache's httpd.conf, and in the instances that it cannot find the value
    (which occurs on some x64 systems) it will check for the following hardcoded paths,
    in this order:
    
    ::
    
      "D:/ms4w/Apache/conf/ca-bundle/cacert.pem"
      
        or
      
      "C:/ms4w/Apache/conf/ca-bundle/cacert.pem"
