IIRC, other users reported previously that files in their default TEMP folder couldn't be executed. That caused issues for them, too.
The solution for them was to create a new TEMP folder (e.g., C:\Temp) and set the TEMP environment variable to point to that new folder.

Not sure if this is related to the issue described in bug #63139. (I don't recall when the earliest report was about that.) I'm also not sure if the new installer will make any difference. But testing probably won't hurt...

Thanks for all your answers. The fix i found is simply to create a new temp folder (tempo i.e) and change the advanced system parameters in windows (environnement variables). I try the new version.

@OP: If it is the same problem as bug #63129, it has been fixed. Go to https://buildbot.octave.space/#/download and download octave-2022-10-03-00-12-default-w64-installer.exe or any version more recent than that. This fix will also be in Octave 7.3.0 to be released in about a month.

Closing as fixed, but if you continue to have problems pls comment here and it can be reopened.

Possible duplicate of bug #63129?

@OP: What exactly is the "corrupt of temp folder" that you refer to? Are any files deleted? Or is only the folder permission changed so you cannot access it?

Can you read through bug #63129 to see if you can reset the permissions?

Hello.
Since the last releases, i encounter bugs on my operating system (windows 7) after Octave installation.
The temp directory seems to be locked and i need to make a new. Otherwise, some applications can't run, can't be uninstalled, thumbnail of docx fails, etc...
