I downloaded the .exe installer and after all was done I learned that
"pkg -forge install packagename" would not work.  Couldn't install
any packages.  I wonder whatever happened.  I then ran Octave with
administrator privileges and packages still wouldn't install.  The
GUI works beautifully though.

I also wonder if isn't possible to configure the GUI to run 3.6.4
on it.  That would be great, too. :-)

My computer has Windows 7 Professional.

Thanks,
