I would be glad to. Last time there was a zip file that you made for me. I have no experience setting up LuaRocks on Windows, so it would be very helpful.

Yeah I know... I should use it (it is used on 40+ computers everyday at my work and just keeps working so it falls in the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" category for me), but we have tried to get LuaDist going a few times and my main operating system is Linux, so I will accept most help and pull requests. I put all the files on GitHub now so that all you have to do is clone and install InnoSetup and compile the .iss script.

They are currently built with vc2005 which is ancient too, so the problem starts to stack up.

Should we simply cut our losses and switch to LuaDist even if all the modules are not there?

Any helpers available to build new binaries of the modules included?

The version of LuaRocks that's included (2.0.2) is five years old... :(

Are there plans for an updated version?
