Good morning (it's 2:18 AM now in germany) Updated versions of both the english and the german installation guide for Lua on Win32 platforms are available now. Please note, that a new version of the binary distribution now also contains the lua modules which come with the LuaSocket package (and provide support for ftp, http, smtp etc.). See http://www.andreas-rozek.de/Lua/Distributions/index.html (german) or http://www.andreas-rozek.de/Lua/Distributions/index_en.html (english) Going to bed now...
