Can't load sqlite3 for Ruby on Rails 5 for Windows 10

Just installed Ruby on Rails 5 on Windows 10. I tried to run the rails server but it gave me the error below. I've tried a bunch of different solutions but nothing seems to work, probably because most of the suggestions were before RoR4. I've updated my PATH/environment variable and extracted the DLL and executable from the sqlite website and put that into my directory, ran bundle install...

C:/Ruby23-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.11-x64-mingw32/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)

I ended up just uninstalling everything and then using RailsInstaller to set up my Rails environment for Windows and this problem was resolved. Rails 5 does work with sqlite now.

I'm not sure what the problem was, but this was the solution that worked for me. Wanted to post it here in case anyone else was experiencing this on the newer versions of the language or framework.
