Thank you. The antivirus software was quarantining the vbs files

By default, that file should be installed in C:\Octave\Octave-5.2.0.

How did you install Octave? With the installer or the zip or 7z package?
Did you receive any message (from your anti-virus or security software) during installation?
Did you check if your anti-virus or security software quarantined that file?
Are you on a managed system? Some (enterprise) rules seem to prohibit executing .vbs files.

I have attempted to install octave-5.2.0 in Windows 10 on numerous occasions. However the GUI will not open with the error octave.vbs file missing. A search in Windows Explorer does not find any file with this name in any directory
