Cannot find script file "C:\Octave\Octave-5.2.0\octave.vbs"

I get this script error message every time I open Octave (CLI and GUI). When I "Open file location" it opens the folder and highlights the file "wscript.exe" I thought octave was missing that file so I reinstalled a couple of times, the same error persists.

Can someone Help me through this error?
