It shouldn't be necessary to install an external Lua.  Doesn't
TeXworks use texlua?  The latter has lpeg compiled-in.  And I strongly
recommend to use texlua due to its built-in modules and extensions.

Can you provide a minimal example which allows developers to reproduce
the problem?  The TeXworks version number might be helpful too.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
