In the tread:
Octave 4.0rc installer on Windows 7

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Octave-4-0rc-installer-on-Windows-7-td4668998.html


There is no windows binary on the ftp yet.
 1. Close button of window is not visible 
 2. Qt graphics toolkit is not available in octave-cli 

The two points that vinukn pointed out is resolved?
