Installed the software on another machine and the package loads perfectly.
I still do not understand what the issue is with my computer, but I am simply using remote desktop for the time being.
I think it is safe to say this is not software related anymore, I am fine closing this bug.
Thanks for the support,
Fabrice

@comment #10:
In 4.0.0 for Windows the included io package was crippled just by accident.
Indeeed, if even 4.0.1-rc3 crashes there may be something wrong outside Octave. Given that there must be many many Octave-4.0.0 on Windows installations just working (we don't hear that much complaints about crashes like yours) I think it is wise to try some other PC.

New problem,
Typing "pkg load io" into the command window crashes the software. I am tempted to try this on a different computer at this point.

I installed 4.0.1-rc3. I think I will stick with this install for now, the io package plus more shows up with 'pkg list'.
I forgot to mention that I tried reinstalling 4.0.0 without success. I could still try installing an image or tsa..
I am curious why some of these packages are not included with the install of octave 4.0.0? Or is this the direction the software is headed(with regards to 4.0.3-rc3)?
I know this 'bug' is not fully solved but I appreciate the help,
Fabrice

That sounds bad.
IIRC io-1.0.9 was a release w/o binary modules, so I suspect there's something wrong with the compiler stuff in your Octave installation.
Could you try installing another OF package with binary modules? like image or tsa ?
Alternatively, you could try to install Octave-4.0.1-rc3 from here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/octave/octave-4.0.1-rc3-installer.exe
That has a complete io package inside (in 4.0.0 it is crippled).
In the end you could try to simply reinstall octave-4.0.0. The apparently broken build chain in your Octave installation seems ominous.

Sourceforge. Directly off the octave page with the list of packages.
When i try:
more off;
pkg install -forge -verbose io
The software still crashes.
I was able to install io-1.0.9.tar.gz
I have tried I/O packages 2.2.8, 2.2.10, 2.2.11 without success.
Thanks.

At comment #2:
"pkg install io-2.4.0.tar.gz"
That should be good; but as it doesn't work, where did you get io-2.4.0.tar.gz from?
Could you try:
more off;
pkg install -forge -verbose io
and report back, please?
BTW, which "older" io package that "did not include it" were you referring to?

edit: xlswrite

All I want to use is the xlsread function. The older I/O package did not include it.
Could someone reply with the function attached? Or paste the code...
Thanks.

No message,
The application completely shuts down.
I get the classic:
" octave-gui.exe has stopped working"
"A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "

And how does it "crash"? Please add the exact message you get.

I used the command:
pkg install io-2.4.0.tar.gz
Thank you.

Exactly how did you install io? (exactly what commands did you enter?

When trying to install the I/O package, octave crashes.
