• if you want to install rocks, make it a "Visual Studio Command Prompt"
• make sure LUA_DEV environment var set correctly
• will probably need to open command prompt as Administrator
• admin rights are typically need to write to "Program Files"

1. Run lfw_install.bat

• this "manually" installs 2.2.2 in the LfW directory

1. Optionally run lfw_update_rocks.bat

• this will try to install (get, compile, deploy) rocks for a lot of modules
• it uses the list from https://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/
• A LOT of these will fail
• it uses the "popular" list from https://luarocks.org/
• A FEW of these will fail
• in the end you should have 40-50 modules installed as "rocks"
• it does some cleanup of old stuff if new installed
