Re: Installing LuaForWindows_v5.1.4-36.exe

[Andrew Wilson <agrwagrw@...>]

Hi Martin,

Current Lua for Windows version requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1
Redistributable, which you can get and install separately from
http://luaforge.net/frs/download.php/3608/vcredist_x86.exe , .exe is
approximately 2.6 MB.

Regards
Andrew
