I have installed octave-4.0.0 for windows to two win7 64 bit PCs and two win 
8.1 64 bit PCs.

I have installed octave-forge packages using 
C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\src\build_packages.m
after some modification of small flaws.

The version numbers of general and signal package are corrected to 2.0.0 and 
1.3.2, respectively.
And commented out to install io package because io package tar.gz file is 
corrupt in 
C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\src.

>From
try_install io-2.2.7.tar.gz
to 
#try_install io-2.2.7.tar.gz


Then I executed
 >> cd C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\src
 >> build_packages
 >> pkg install -forge io

Octave forge packages could be installed 
in the four PCs (two win 7, two win 8.1)in my lab.

 
BTW, how did you try to install "struct" and "odepkg" package?

>> pkg install -forge struct
>> pkg install -forge odepkg

If you use the above, your fails are funny.

Try

>> pkg install -forge -verbose odepkg

and see what is happening for your case in detail
and report results on this ML.
