A minimal example file would be helpful.  Don't know what you are doing
exactly.  And please tell us where the files are located in the TEXMF
tree(s).  Arthur suggested kpse.find_file() but I have zillions of lua
scripts and lua modules within a texmf tree and I never needed
kpse.find_file().

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