I have managed to successfully installed my first Solar2D, 2020.3601 on Windows 10 Home Edition, after multiple failed attempts.
During the process, not sure if it is related to McAfee anti-virus, “lua.dll” is missing after installation. I need to manually copy it into the installed folder. Subsequently, I manage to confirm that “lua.dll” has been flagged as a “threat” and removed by McAfee. I configured “Do Not Scan These” on McAfee, as a work-around. The simulator runs fine.
However, building simple test code into Android gives “Build Error #1”. There was no problem with building into windows “exe” or web “html”.
Please see related thread on this “Build Error #1”,

Thank you all.
PS. I have emailed to McAfee of all these possible “false positives” or “false alarms” but have yet to hear from them.
