Hisham, A question about the install script;
What is the difference between the options /LUA and /BIN. I can guess /BIN, containing the binaries and executables, like lua.exe. But what is /LUA for? When is it used? When my binaries are in c:\users\public\lua\5.1\bin I would guess /LUA to be c:\users\public\lua\5.1 I'm considering updating the installer to search the entire system path for a lua executable, but need to know the purpose of these options before doing so.
