Re: Right way to upgrade one library package of 'Lua for Windows'

Thanks Philipp... so I guess, I got bitten by either of the 2 reasons, because I get this error:

C:\ZeroBraneStudio-master\bin\lua.exe: error loading module 'luars232' from file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1/clibs/luars232.dll':
system error 14001

From the error no. (14001) anyway to figure out if it is reason a) or b) ?

Hi,

Hi!

On my Windows machine (running 'Lua for Windows'), the "luars232" library
is v-1.0.0, where-as the latest is v-1.0.3, which I believe fixes a problem
I faced. However, this library requires to be built using VC++ compiler,
which I don't have and would prefer to avoid installing if I can. The
module/library author has provided the .DLL file for this library as an
attachment in the past (found in the mailing list archive).

So the question is, can I just go ahead and replace the .DLL file, or is
there some other step involved (any library version no. specific metadata
to update, for instance) ?

No, nothing like that, so go ahead. But you have to make sure that the new DLL

a) links to the same visual C runtime library DLL
b) links to the same Lua library DLL (although I think LfW contains a proxy DLL, so this might not be an issue).

thanks,
Jay
