lua ZeroBrane Studio failed to initialize lua511.dll not found

First time user of Lua and installed version 5.3.5 then tried to install the IDE - ZeroBrane Studio.

Unfortunately when I start ZeroBrane Studio it says the following:

Failed to initialize editor The lua511.dll could not be found or loaded, please check the working directory of the application.

As my experience, I have never seen a lua511.dll and if it says that then there must be something wrong with your program.

There should only be a lua51.dll, although if you'd like, you can just rename it to lua511.dll but there should be a more professional fix towards it.

As this just may be a grammar issue, make sure your lua51.dll is actually there, or if it might be in the wrong directory. If it's in the right directory or if its there then do reinstall it with common troubleshooting tips.

There is something completely wrong, as there is no lua511.dll, only lua51.dll, and I can find no references to lua511.dll anywhere in the project or generated binary files.

If you are launching the IDE using zbstudio.exe, you can also try launching it using bin\lua src\main.lua command to see if it makes any difference. You can also try launching bin\lua to see if it launches (as it depends on the same lua51.dll library).

If you are launching it using a shortcut, then check its "Properties" and set "Start in" to the location where you installed the IDE (the location of zbstudio.exe file).
