My guess would be that you're getting a segmentation fault when running 
your code and that the error goes by too quickly before the window closes. 
If you can find a way to run a shell and then run octave separately, then 
you should be able to find what the error is exactly when octave drops 
back to a shell.

I don't run octave in windows with the same installer as you, so I don't 
know how to get to the shell, but I'm guessing that there is probably a 
batch file that starts it that you should be able to investigate to do 
it.
