Why did you bother when you can get lua for windows anyway.
Lua is just a programming language, you don't emulate it, you interpret it.

i know that :)/>/> but well i coded this one for the circumstances of adding computer craft code syntax, so u can test ur program outgame and thats also the point why it is an emulator :)/>/>
and also as u can tell my tool is lightweight instead of the original lua for windows :)/>/>
hoped i coud clearificate my point :)/>/>

I don't really see the use of this unless it also emulates cc.

I like the idea of an emulator for CC but I would use it more for ruining lua when computer craft is not updated or when Minceraft is not available ( if you make it portable app for USB ) would be very useful combined with Notepad++ in its own IDE.
while I admire the effort that goes into something like this it just leaves me thinking "Why not make a folder called user on the rom and modify files outside minecraft with Notepad++ and run the in game from rom?"
Edit
for anyone with a bad Internet connection you might want to try this instead of the web installer for .Net 4

.NET 4.0 does not come with Windows 7 (Any). .NET 3.5 is included with Windows 7. Did you know that Java also has a lua implimentation called LuaJ that is used by Computer Craft internally. It is very easy to get up and running if you already know how to program in java.

Nice work. I started doing something like this, but with LuaJ. It doesn't have the CC functions yet, just the screen and the lua interpreter (wich doesn't work correctly for some reason), and I can't work on it for now, so it might never be released.
There's some pics of the current progress:

It would be nice if this was done so it ran on the java vm so you could run it on any OS. Would be nice to be able to use it on a Linux based systems, I would be able to test my scripts at work then.

Yeah that is about where my java skills are at. I'm learning but not quite there yet. Someday hopefully I can make my own. :)/>/>

I'd love to see this be made cross-platform, or even as a CLI utility.
