* For executable (.exe) installers: the user can simply run the downloaded file and follow the on-screen installation prompts.  It is recommended that the installation path does not include non-ASCII characters. Shortcuts to the program will be created automatically and the post-install script will be run automatically. But with some systems, you may have to run the {{Path|post-install.bat}} file before running Octave the first time to reduce plot delays due to the Windows font cache and make the pre-installed packages visible to the system.
