That was confirmed as the source of Charlie's problem.

Deleting and re-installing my Lua for Windows installation on my tablet fixed it.

One problem that I ran into, and I suspect it's the same one Charlie's running into, though I haven't confirmed it yet, is that you must run the command prompt as an Administrator. I'm always on as Administrator on my desktop, but on my tablet I keep UAC higher. "Error unpacking rock file" is endemic of the install command being run from a LUA (Limited User Account - one of the few times that's been used correctly on this list) privileged prompt. This should probably be included in the installation steps- I'll add it now.

Hi, Stuart,

I just downloaded LfW 5.1.4-37, installed it, then downloaded
luarocks-2.0.2-lfw.zip from http://luarocks.org/releases and copied
the contents of the .zip file to where I installed LfW. "luarocks
install wsapi-xavante" ran with no problems. Could you check where
your LUA_DEV environment variable and your PATH are pointing? Maybe an
older version of LuaRocks and/or LfW are conflicting with our newest
installation (and the same can be happening with your friend).

After extracting the LuaRocks for LfW zip over my desktop's LfW 5.1.4-34 installation, I was able to install wsapi-xavante just fine. However, my friend who extracted it over his LfW 5.1.4-35 installation had this error:

(Also, his changes.txt file says 5.1.4-34 at the beginning of the 5.1.4-35
changes section.)

On my tablet running LuaRocks extracted over Lua for Windows 5.1.4-37, I get
