Installation of Octave on Windows

[Marek Malý]

Hallo,

does anybody know if an Octave installation package for Windows is 
available.

I mean, some directory with necessary files (like cygwin1.dll, 
wgnuplot.exe ...)
and ofcourse some install.exe or setup.exe file.

It is about year and half ago when one student told me about Gnu Octave 
and he brought me such windows
installation package which was dirrectory with some files(probably some 
necessary cygwin dll's,
gnuplot and octave files) and file setup.exe or install.exe ofcourse and 
so I installed Octave very
quickly and easy on my computer. Directory "GNU Octave 2.1.50"(size 20MB , 
40MB on disk) was created in my
"Program Files" directory after installation. Octave Icon was created on 
my desktop.
Unfortunately I probably deleted that installation package and now I would
like to install it on some other computers but I can't.



I know that Windows Octave current version installation package is part of 
cygwin package
so it is possible to install Octave simultaneously with installation of 
Cygwin. I know that
next possibility how make Win - Octave binaries is compilation of Octave 
sources with help of
cygwin. I only don't know if is somewhere available separate Octave 
installation package for Windows
(current or older version) for easy and fast installation of Octave on 
Windows system. If somebody
know about somethink what I'am looking for, I would be glad if he send me 
an information.

   Thank's a lot
