Octave provides .vbs scripts to set up the environment to run GNU Octave correctly on Windows. If your system has been corrupted so that the registry has a bad entry making it impossible to run a .vbs file, that is not a bug in GNU Octave. There does not appear to be a bug with Octave or the installer here, rather a system configuration problem that others on the mailing list may or may not be able to help with. This is not the appropriate forum. Please see http://www.octave.org/support for how to post on the mailing list asking for help getting Octave working.

Hi Philip, my mistake, I used only .exe for installation.
It did everything automatically and created CLI and GUI icons.
I clicked on them and it showed me mentioned error.

zip package isn't the same as the installer .exe

So what did you exactly do?

I installed zip package "octave-4.2.0-w64-installer.exe" on Windows 7.
However whenever I try to start GUI it shows error saying
(Can't find script engine "VBScript" for script "C:\Octave\Octave-4.2.0\Octave.vbs" )
I also tried to correct my registry entry at HKCR\CLSID\{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}\InprocServer32 as mentioned on below website. It didn't work.
Please help.
