Follow-up Comment #1:

sorry, I can't completely follow you.

Did you enter just "D:" in the Destination folder box? I think that is not
enough, you'd need to fill in a complete path.

And which directory is meant with "elsewhere"?

If you entered just "D:" chances are that it is interpreted as installing into
the root dir of drive D: where you may not have write priviliges.

FWIW, at work I install development versions always in a 
D:\Octave\Octave-<version>_<date> 
subdirectory and I fill in that path in the Destination folder box.
