My corporate proxy still sees https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/octave-4.2.0-w64-installer.exe as spyware and won't let me download it. w32 download worked fine.
I couldn't really check the installer on VirusTotal as the file size is above 32MB:

I have deleted usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/nsis and execute hg pull, hg update, autoconf, and configure and make nsis-installer.
The new installer file does not contain share/nsis directory.
Thus the problem no longer will happen.
Please change status from Ready For Test to Fixed and close this report.

I agree with not including the nsis files in the installer ant it is practical solution for this issue.

I dont think any of the nsis files are needed except for generating the installer in linux, so it could probally be changed to not install any of those files, and save a little on installer exe size.

Workaround is to delete usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/nsis/Bin/zip2exe.exe and execute "make nsis-installer".
Then the installer file does not contain zip2exe.exe.
Fortunately zip2exe.exe is not related to octave execution.

David reported that in the below octave ML thread
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/octave-4-0-3-64-bit-binaries-for-windows-td4678168.html
share/nsis/Bin/zip2exe.exe in my 64 bit binary distribution is virus positive
The results by the Virus Total [1],
13/52 (positive/total)
I have built 32bit octave-4.0.3 for windows by mxe-octave,
and scanned share/nsis/Bin/zip2exe.exe by the Viurs Total.
No positive results appeared, which is the same as that in octave-4.0.3 in octave official site.
The executable zip2exe.exe is 32bit application and may be produced by mingw w64 gcc with muliti-lib on 64 bit build. I suspect that the difference is occurred that cause may cause (perhaps false) positive on some virus software.
