I reinstalled without the spaces. I'm able to run Octave on Win7/64.  Plotting 
works ok, but printing dumps the core. I assume that is because there is no 
support for printing using the qt backend?

Plotting using gnuplot work as well. Printing does not as I don't have 
ghostscript installed.

In any event, what are the plans for committing the qt backend to the 
developer's sources ?
