On my Win10 machine I managed to install the new io-2.4.13 from tar.gz
and via "pkg install -forge io".  I have no Win7 system to experiment.

My impression is, that your temp directory has insufficient permissions
"error: cannot run C++ compiled programs".  Make sure that all
directories you use (including the Octave directory) have read, write,
and execution permissions (right-click > Security tab).

Another strange observation is your temp path itself:

   /c/Users/AppData/Local/Temp/oct-HSr7HX/io-2.4.13/src

Where is the username?

   /c/Users/kai/AppData/Local/Temp/oct-HSr7HX/io-2.4.13/src

in my case.  Maybe there is some bad configuration on your system or did
you strip it for public display?

HTH,
