Ah, first some remarks:
- please do not top post, answer below the mail
- it may be handy to leave your phone number out

Unfortunately, no:
- First of all, from the error messages it seems you run Octave 3.7.2+ which
is a development version. Normally, users who run dev versions do so on
their own risk.
Did you install the MSVC-version? as that one doesn't have the compilers
needed for installing binary (parts of) packages.
There's a 3.8.0 binary Windows installer (search the ML for the URL)
including io-2.0.2 (you still need to run an install script) and even
including the build tools to install binary packages.
- The movefile error comes from a call in the pkg.m function, not in one of
the io package's files (in io-2.0.2 there's a movefile command in
post_install.m).
Maybe in this error log the post_install.m movefile() command has been
disguised as called by pkg but I'm too unfamiliar with the innards of pkg.m
to help you out.
- Maybe a diary from:
more off
pkg install -verbose io-2.0.2.tar.gz
can tell us more....
