RE: Lua For Windows on Windows XP x64 Edition

["Antonio Scuri" <scuri@...>]

  Hi,

  It is a known problem with the manifests of the LuaBinaries distribution
used by Lua for Windows.

  We released new packages ("Win32_bin") that you can download and replace
the Lua for Windows files. 

  This applies only to 32 bits executables running in Windows XP 64. For
Vista 64, or for the 64 bits executables, this is not necessary although we
released new files, with the new manifests, as well.

Best Regards,
Antonio Scuri
