So your windows package is installed and loaded, it is not clear to me what 
makes you exactly think it is empty? How did you check it?
Did you look into the folder where it is installed?
Did you check with 

pkg describe -verbose windows

and then invoke one of the functions? The functions in the webpage are shown 
as missing due to a problem in the webpage (when the documentation string is 
not parsed successfully it is shown as not implemented as I remeber from some 
discussion here or on the oct-dev mailing list some time ago).

With the 3.2.3 installed on a virtual windows machine I see the package exists 
and the functions are there (I can invoke them). 
Will try the 3.2.4 later.
