Michael,

I tried the install on VBOX. The install appeared to go well and all the aliases showed up, but there is no Octave folder in "Program Files (x86)" ... thus, the aliases don't work.

Any ideas ?

First, I would not recommend installing into a directory with spaces. But anyway, I'm not sure what's happening. The shortcuts are created using NSIS $INSTDIR variable, which is the place where (normally) octave is installed. Where is octave installed and where are those shortcuts pointing to?

I don't have access to 64bits processor running Windows, neither to any other Windows version than WinXP. So I can only test under WinXP 32bits.

Michael.
