Thank you for providing lua for Windows.

Your download page has this sentence (or rather 'sentence'): 'Preventing download of vcredist to solve installation issues.' What is that trying to say? That the build at issue solves installation problems by preventing the download of 'vcredist'? If that is what is meant (and surely you should improve the sentence) then the sentence seems false. For, I installed the build, and the installer installed a Visual C library; and, nonetheless, my Lua programs fail to run, giving instead this error:

:1: unexpected symbol near ' '

Previously, I had luaForWindows installed, along with a couple of Visual C libraries, and lua worked. I removed the libraries, found that lua no longer worked, and that is when I reinstalled lua - with the above results. Moreover, just now I installed three separate versions of the Visual C libraries and lua is still not working.
