why?
If you *only* need https you also only need SSL support and not SSH.

have you tried to use forward slashes with the ca-path? F.e.:
curl_easy_setopt(CURLOPT_CAPATH, "c:/Projects/curl_certs")
AFAICT the Windows file open APIs work also with forward slashes, and
that saves you from escaping the backslashes ...
