When I re-flashed the device for nodeMCU I used an executable modemcu firmware programmer. It seemed to have the binary file included? Perhaps I setup this incorrectly.
So, I used a different application.ESP8266 Flash Downloader. I had to download the binary file:
https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firm ... latest.bin
After I re-flashed I pulled the GPIO Pin out of ground and reset the ESP.
I then used ESplorer to Upload my LAU script. This time it went past 22% and all is good.
Let me know if anyone needs help on this.
A guy on Youtube did a great video on the nodemcu flashing:

But glad to hear that you've got it all working fine.
I closed the port and opened up a terminal window (I use Termite). However when I restart the ESP device (with or without the GND link for GPIO in place) the open I get
NodeMCU 0.9.5 build 20150318 powered by Lua 5.1.4
lua: cannot open init.lua
I've reflashed the device and tried sending the Init code - each time the same results - What am I doing wrong. Obvioulsly Lua is installed as I get that message stating the build etc... but why is it that the program won't run ?
