Sorry to hear that.
There are a couple of problems with the Octave for Windows installer. One has
to do with environment space. That one I haven't even tried to fix. The other
has to do with non-English versions of Windows. That's the one my patch tries
to fix.
The patch I sent you was for version 2.1.31 (can't use path names with spaces
for that one). I had the same 2 Mb problem and after applying the patch the
installation procedure worked. Same for a couple of other users that posted
to the net. So the patch works on some systems! :-) There are probably some
differences in yours that I didn't account for.
Recently I made a patch for version 2.1.33. As far as I can remember I'm the
only one who has tried that one. Again, the original installer didn't work,
and now I have a working copy of Octave 2.1.33 on Windows (it works better
than version 2.1.31 BTW).
Getting past the installation on Windows can be a bit tricky, but it's well
worth it.
