I installed Octave on a windows 8 machine recently and confirmed that it does instead report windows 8 as windows 10 in the installer.

The issue appears to be that the version 6.3 is Windows 8, however in Windows 10, they changed where the version number is maintained (yet kept the old registry value and number)

I will change the installer to use the new registry value, and if that fails, read the old version information

I thought I had seen that before, when I had access to a win8 machine

If you run regedit, what is the value of


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\CurrentVersion

The Octave installer pops up with a warning that it has detected Windows 10 on the system and states that Octave is not fully tested on Windows 10. However, my system is running Windows 8.
