Update of bug #47576 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: My environment is Windows 10: I received an error
message during installation that stated that my OS was Windows 8. =>
octave-4.0.1-installer.exe (32bit) does not install on Windows 10

Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed, the 32-bit version:
- won't install in Windows 10 (I get an error message stating something went
wrong at 0xc00005)
- erroneously states it found itself running in Windows 8 (should have been
Windows 8+) - this is just a cosmetic thingy.

There is a 64-bit Octave-4.1.0 version here:
http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/octave/Eng/Win/
that does install correctly.

After installation you need to build the octave-forge add-on packages
yourself. In Octave:

more off
cd ([OCTAVE_HOME filesep "src"])
build_packages

and get yourself some coffee, as this can take a while (~15 minutes on my
core-i5 laptop).

Before using an octave-forge package you have to load it using:
pkg load <package-name>

As far as I have tried this 64-bit version works fine in Win10.
__run_test_suite__ tells:

PASS 13020
FAIL     2
XFAIL   26
SKIPPED 54
(and no error/crash popup afterwards)
