I’m seeing the same problem on a Lenova notebook running windows 10 (v 1607).

Both 32bit and 64bit installs fail. 

My 1st install was with 64bit. Which worked the first day and now consistently 
crashes.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a few times, with no impact.

The cli version also crashes.

Nothing is displayed at the GUI command line.

The cli closes too fast to read what is there.

A work around is to run octave-cli.exe from the new Windows PowerShell.
