win7 - SSL problem. or something else?

1: I Installed Kodi 17 on windows Vista SP2. to make a Portable version....
Portable version created. and copied all files to my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit pc.

2: Kodi 17 Portable loads up fine... on my windows 7 pc. but my addon gives an ssl error.

3: My addon gives this error on my windows 7 pc. using kodi 17 Portable.
- Error: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590)>
- IE An error from: urllib2.urlopen(via an HTTPS url)

*** But my addon works fine on Kodi 17 Portable on my Vista pc.. no errors at all.
But my addon does not work on my Win 7 pc....which is the pc I use for my tv.

Sure Bypassing the SSL Check makes it work.. but I do not wish to do that.
---------------
import ssl
ssl._create_default_https_context = ssl._create_unverified_context
--------------

So it seems to be a windows 7 problem.. or maybe because it's a portable version created from a vista pc?
Or is my win 7 pc missing a certain file for kodi? it could very well be...

So if anyone has a clue as to why it's doing that.. Please let me know.. it will be appreciated. Thanks.

Check your windows user certificates (certmgr.msc).

There is a known issue with python 2.7.11 on windows, where it fails to verify a certificate if there is an expired one.
I had this issue with googlevideo links and I had two "Google Internet Authority G2" certificates where one was expired.
It fails to verify the valid certificate.
Ater deleting the expired certificate it works again.

Tested python 2.7.9, 2.7.10, 2.7.11 and 2.7.12 and only 2.7.11 fails.
