Re: Octave 5.1.0 installation in silent mode hangs at the end of install

[clefebvre . 62]

Hi,

I have find why octave installer hangs when called by a package manager.

post-install.bat calls "%MSYSDIR%\bin\bash.exe --login -c echo" and so, it's something like the opening of a subsystem doesn't return a code.

Is it possible to check if this call is really needed or if it can be launched in background with a command like "startcmd"?

Thanks in advance,

Christophe

If you install portable version, why do you not use zip or 7z archive version and execute post-install.bat.
