If any of you are just getting into script modding or are getting back into script modding, you will notice that when you try to install one of the dependencies (vcsetup.exe) for the LuaC the installer will repeatedly attempt to establish a connection to a download server. This is probably because the Microsoft server that hosted this download is no longer hosting those files because they are just so old.
The way around this is to use a local installer that does not connect to a server to pull the files in. This installer can be found
here.
You can mount the
.iso file with image mounting software such as
WinCDEmu and run the mounted virtual disc.
