1 - I do not use windows, can't help with those specifics
2 - you should downloadeded a tar.gz, not a zip file

The argument for package install is the path to the package. Do you
have the package file on your working directory? Run 'ls' to make
sure. Otherwise, I can't see what's the problem but I'm guessing maybe
it's octave-workshop. You should have asked the octave workshop devs.
Open an octave terminal and try it. If you are using octave 3.4 you
should be able to use 'pkg install -forge io' to automatically
download and install the package.
