title: Installing LuaFileSystem (lfs) on win7 x64
body: <p><br>
  I’m trying to install <strong>LuaFileSystem</strong> (lfs) on Windows 7 x64.
  Tried it using Cygwin in a Linux style (using Make and config files), which gave me a lot of syntax errors.</p>
  
  <p>Second try was using: </p>
  
  <pre><code>luarocks.bat install luafilesystem
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which I’m getting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cl /MD /O2 -c -Fosrc/lfs.obj -IC:/Program Files (x86)/Lua/5.1/include src/lfs.c
  'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
  Error: Build error: Failed compiling object src/lfs.obj
  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Trying to run using "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe" Throw:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"The program can't start because mspdb100.dll is missing from your computer"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a simple way to install it on Windows 7 x64?<br>
  Thanks in advance,<br>
  Avi</p>
