I hava those installed use scoop:

lua                 5.4.7-2       main       2024-09-15 19:18:04
lua-for-windows     5.1.5-52      main       2024-09-13 00:40:11
lua-language-server 3.10.5        main       2024-08-25 15:21:46
lua51               5.1.5         versions   2024-09-15 19:19:19
luarocks            3.11.1        main       2024-09-15 19:18:05

lua51 is installed at:

    Directory: C:\Users\cc\scoop\apps\lua51\5.1.5

Mode                 LastWriteTime         Length Name

-a---            2014/5/6     3:54          17920 lua5.1.exe

so I run luarocks --lua-version=5.1 --local config variables.LUA 'C:\Users\cc\scoop\apps\lua51\5.1.5\lua5.1.exe'. and I got:

escaped \ in path to: 'C:\\Users\\cc\\scoop\\apps\\lua51\\5.1.5\\lua5.1.exe'. got the same.

I am able to reproduce this issue. Lua for Windows can be installed via the following link: https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luaforwindows. However, I would prefer to explore a more effective solution to address the problem.

Unfortunately there is nothing rest.nvim can do about this issue.
This is problem with your package manager, in this case lazy.nvim.

I would like to help you but I don’t have access to any Windows machines until next year, so I recommend you to ask for a help from lazy.nvim or make an issue about this there. You will get more faster & accurate help in this way.

I tried this, did not work. I tried installing lua, lua51 and lua-for-windows use scoop. did not work. I tried use rocks.nvim to install rest.nvim, and rocks.nvim also could not be installed. But I installed rocks-scoop as mentioned in this tutorial. After that rest.nvim can be isntalled successfully use lazy.nvim.
