PKG install under Windows Mingw setup

[User1116]

Hello,

I am getting several errors like the one below when trying to install the
instrument-control package:

cp: cannot create regular file
`C:/users/adamro1/octave/instrument-control-0.2.1/i686-w64-mingw32-api-v50+/gpib.oct':
Permission denied

Ending with:

couldn't copy files to the installation directory
error: called from 'copy_files' in file
C:\Octave\Octave-4.0.0\share\octave\4.0.0\m\pkg\private\copy_files.m near
line 43, column 7

I'm running on Octave-4.0.0 which I installed from the available installer. 
I've set the pkg prefix command to use a directory in my user account to
avoid any UAC issues.  I set both the installation prefix and the
architecture dependent prefix to the same directory
(C:/users/adamro1/octave)
I've also tried editing the home directory but haven't found a combination
that makes this work.  

Can anyone help with this issue?
