Ruby ffi Gem Installation Fails on Windows Even After Installing Ruby with DevKit and mingw-w64-x86_64-libffi via MSYS2

Following this post I encountered an issue while running bundle update --bundler. The process failed due to an error with the ffi gem installation.

Here are the steps I've taken so far:

1. Initially, I tried running bundle update --bundler, but it failed due to an ffi installation error.
2. Suspecting that I might need the Ruby Development Kit (DevKit), I uninstalled my existing Ruby installation. Since the Chocolatey package for DevKit was deprecated, I opted for "Ruby 3.2 with MSYS2 RubyInstallerTeam.RubyWithDevKit.3.2 3.2.2-1 Tag: ruby winget" using winget.
3. Next, I installed mingw-w64-x86_64-libffi using ucrt64.exe run as administrator.
4. After this setup, running gem install ffi --platform=ruby worked successfully.

However, I am still facing issues with other dependencies. The ffi gem installation seems correct but doesn't resolve the overall bundler update failure.

Here's a snippet of the error log.

I am seeking guidance on setting up my environment to resolve these issues properly. Any insights or suggestions on what might be going wrong or what additional steps should be taken would be greatly appreciated.
