There was or is a bug in gnulib that prevents Octave from working on Windows 8:

It would be helpful if you could tell us if this fixes the problem for you.

The solution has been tested, see:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2013-01/msg00007.html

However, it hasn't been implemented in gnulib AFAIK. Thinking about it, I've the impression they expect me to produce a gnulib patch, but I don't really have the time atm.
