Package installation issues

Hi guys,

could you please help out with some hints on package installation? I
have deleted and reinstalled octave-forge from
Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2-install.exe a few times. When I try to install
packages it either seems to hang, or it gives a long list of gcc (and
others) messages. The computer is Win7-64. It also has Octave
3.2.4 installed. I reboot inbetween uninstalls and new
installs. The install file itself seems to run fine every time. It is
the packages which give me a headache. I was able to successfully
install it on a Win7-32 box.

To uninstall I delete the folder C:\Octave\Octave3.4.3_gcc4.5.2. The
"uninstall" file which ended up in the start menu has no file
extension after I run
the installation program, so I can't really use it.

How should I properly delete Octave 3.4.3 in order to try reinstalling it?

After "uninstalling" a few times I'm no longer able to provoke the
system to give me the compilation errors. Instead Octave hangs during
package install.

Is there an installation package with everything preconfigured and
included? ... or is there an active policy to only welcome users who
can figure out the packages system?

I install packages with this command:
pkg install miscellaneous-1.0.11.tar.gz struct-1.0.9.tar.gz
optim-1.0.17.tar.gz audio-1.1.4.tar.gz signal-1.1.1.tar.gz
control-2.2.3.tar.gz specfun-1.1.0.tar.gz gnuplot-1.0.1.tar.gz
multicore-0.2.15.tar.gz


Thanks,
