[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56454] [octave forge] (io) xlswrite creates invalid file when GUI is disabled or not available

[Philip Nienhuis]

Update of bug #56454 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Works For Me

Follow-up Comment #2:

Works for me with Octave-5.1.0.0 (I guess one I d/led it from ftp.gnu.org) and
Octave-6.0.0.

Which installer (exact name) did you use?

I do not doubt your observation but I really fail to see what the GUI would
have to do with spreadsheet I/O. Those are completely unrelated parts of the
code.
Therefore my guess is that your Octave installation simply got corrupted.

In a sense this looks like bug #56373, where also seemingly unrelated issue
appeared (although I could reproduce that one).

I suggest you reinstall Octave (maybe take the 64-64 version) and try again.
First rename the old installaton directory (prepend an underscore0, then run
uninstall.exe from that directory. That way you're sure to not re-use hard
disk parts occupied by your possibly corrupt installation.

Maybe you can try to run __run_test_suite__.m (takes quite a bit of time) and
see if that gives additional clues.
