Do not use quotes at all when using :set
:set has its own quoting rules, you need to escape whitespace, bars,
commas and backslashes. So you would have to use something like this:
:set rubydll=C:\\Ruby24\\bin\\msvcrt-ruby240.dll

It is usually easier to avoid all those escaping issues by using the
:let form (:h :let-option):

:let &rubydll='C:\Ruby24\bin\msvcrt-ruby240.dll'

However make sure to use single quotation marks, as otherwise
backslashes have to be doubled and might mean something different than
intended (see :h expr-quote)

BTW: Have you tried the answer from Ken (quoting from
https://github.com/vim/vim-win32-installer/issues/47#issuecomment-366912233)
