It is really just knowledge of INNO Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php) and updating the files. You can easily start from the actual install. Copy the files from the install directory to have a starting point. It is very important to remember this project NEVER build anything from source, so if the library did not update to Lua 5.2+ it was not updated. This is the reason this package never moved on to Lua 5.2+. I would recommend moving to a Luarocks based installer. So basically use Luarocks to update and manage the install. I never got to this because I don't work in Windows (mostly Linux now) much these days.
What is your goal with Lua for Windows (LfW)? Do you write Lua in any projects right now?

@austinheisleycook - That sounds like a great way to start. Try to build LfW locally and let me know what you think.
