Hello,

We're still investigating this issue. We noticed on April 27, that the Build 
Tools .exe file that Microsoft Visual Studios provides no longer exists. I 
tried installing via the DVD ISO, however I ran into the same issues you are 
seeing (I'm able to load the METAR surface winds, but not the Model Winds or 
METAR Station Plot and the functions directory never populates). My older 
Virtual Machine that used the EXE to install, still works correctly. We have 
submitted a ticket with Visual Studios as well and will get back to you. Thank 
you for your patience.

Thanks,

Tiffany Meyer
