The goal of a batteries included, no effort installation shouldn't change, but allowing for non-administrator installation without file associations seems quite reasonable given emphasis on letting people try out Lua with minimal effort. If install is happening on a non-administrator privileged account, then don't set file associations and just set path, lua_path & lua_cpath for user environment only. Add note in readme saying to get file associations need to install using an Administrator privileged account. These technicalities are Windows issues and shouldn't stop a batteiers included easy installer for Lua on Windows. 

OK. That sounds reasonable. I have an idea on how to test to see if an administrative user is installing. This could be used to make that stuff not install.
