Hey, everyone,
I got the simulator installed successfully, but when I select “Open in Editor” it open always a meaningless window showed in the attached screenshot. I do not know what’s wrong, please help. Thank you very much in advance.

In Windows when an app asks to open a file in another app it uses Window’s default file associations to determine what app to open. For instance if you said you wanted to open a .wav file, it would try and open an audio player. In this case, Windows doesn’t know about .lua files. It has no idea what application to use to edit them.
You need to install a text editor that knows about Lua files. On Windows, some people like Notepad++. Others like the free-to-try Sublime Text 3. Doing a Google search on “lua text editors for windows” will give you some good resources to choose.

Thank you very much, Rob.
Now my Corona’s Open in Editor works well and I can try to create some thing.
