Sarbjit:
- First of all, check if your download was OK, check the md5sums
- If they're OK and Octave crashes before you even had a chance to enter any input, please search the help mailing list archives for similar reports. IIRC this has popped up before.

(to Jordi: to me this doesn't look like a libblas issue; those usually pop up once some number crunching begins, i.e. when calls are made to functions inside libblas.dll. AFAIK even with misdetected & mismatched CPU type (by libblas) Octave usually gets to the point that a prompt is shown and user input is accepted)

Almost certainly a duplicate of bug #35769. I'm closing this report, unless we have confirmation that this is a separate bug.

I recently installed Octave 3.6.2 Windows MingW installer on windows7. I extracted the core files using 7 zip as mentioned and modified the properties of the file to point to shortcut. But whne i double click it to launch, it gives segmentation error.

I even tried launching octave.exe from the <install>/bin/octave.exe. My installation path is not having any spaces. I am a newbie to octave, Can some one please help me to make it work.
