I thought this was resolved as it can be.
Differnt versions of Windows behave differently. MS induced this change
via a security patch which changes behaviour that was introduced by a
security upgrade. There is no guarantee that MS will not again change
this behaviour.
The solution to this problem is to avoid internal path searches which
means providing a LUA_CPATH (package.cpath) default that uses
absolutized paths based on executable (GetModuleFileName) and/or
current directory (GetCurrentDirectory) . Do not leave it to the OS to
choose which directory to search. Specify the absolute search path
in Lua. This is also much quicker.
This means having a LUA_CPATH to look for something that is '!' path or CWD
relative *first*.
I hope I explained this OK.
