Details:

I have written an Octave script that is called by an external program that
needs to on-the-fly compute a set of parameters and then pass this data back
to the program.

My file is very simple, it is a function with two inputs, and returns a single
matrix.  I can run it from the command-line just fine.  However, when I call
it from within the program I am using it is unable to execute the script -
though Octave does run but aborts with an error.

>From all of the debugging I have done this does not appear to be a syntax
error - rather it appears to be a permissions issue involving the Windows OS
and Octave.

Here is the error:

error: C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile: Permission denied
error: called from:
error:
C:\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2_20130408\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\share\octave\site\m\startup/octaverc
at line 26, column 1


I have the only account on the PC which is an Administrator account by
default.

I cannot identify the source of the need for talking to systemprofile as
line26 of octaverc is commented out.  However, systemprofile is within
system32 and thus is a somewhat protected area in windows.  When you first try
to access it, you will need to say Yes to give yourself access.  But even this
does not resolve the issue.
