Since you are writing about "octave.vbs", I am assuming you are using Windows. Which version of it?

How did you install Octave?

Does starting the CLI work?

Which anti-virus software are you using? Does it work if you temporarily(!) de-activate that software?
Please check if your anti-virus software quarantined some of Octave's files.

Are you on an administrated machine? Do the policy settings allow executing .vbs files?
