I couldn’t install Visual studio 2013 on my work computer as it complained 
Explorer was too old, unfortunately I can’t upgrade Explorer so I’d vote for 
2012 ☺
As at this point it’s only LUA(?) giving problems we could support at least two 
LUA versions, the dll’s are available.

Otherwise in principle I agree with Graham to use the latest version.
