The exe included with LuaCOM doesn't have the command-line
functionality of lua.exe. You should use lua.exe to register the com
server.

The lualib.dll in LuaBinaries-5.0.3.zip is missing the auxiliary
functions (lauxlib). I put a new link in
http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaBinaries that has full Lua binaries. The
link points to http://www.lua.inf.puc-rio.br/lua-5.0.2-bin.zip

lua-5.0.dll is really any dll that has all of Lua's base API.
lualib-5.0.dll is any dll that has the library and auxiliary API's.
Feel free to contact me in private mail if you have further issues
with LuaCOM. I am its maintainer.
