What steps will reproduce the problem?
 -- at end of installation of luaforwindows, I chose to run the lua examples.
 -- When Example 37 ran, I received error: "The program can't start because iup.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

What is the expected output? 
 -- unsure what was supposed to happen, this is my first time ever installing or using luaforwindows.

What do you see instead?
 -- Here is the output from Example 37:

ml = iup.multiline
    {
    expand="YES",
    value="Quit this multiline edit app to continue Tutorial!",
    border="YES"
    }
dlg = iup.dialog{ml; title="IupMultiline", size="QUARTERxQUARTER",}
dlg:show()
print("Exit GUI app to continue!")
iup.MainLoop()

I had this same issue. I fixed it by updating the LUA_PATH to include the clibs 
directory.

LUA_PATH=;;C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1\lua\?.luac;C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Lua\5.1\clibs\?.dll
