[AWIPS #NLY-733318]: EDEX Server for University of Wyoming

Hi Harrison,

> My classmate says he can't even get to opening CAVE because the visual
> studios app for C++ is causing issues crashing his system previously
> mentioned.

Was he sure to follow the exact steps listed on our website?:
http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/#method-2-direct-windows-install

We also have a video walk through that might be easier.  If he didn't download 
the 
exact version of C++ Build Tools, I would suggest uninstalling all packages on 
his
machine and following along with this video:

The direct Windows installation is very picky about exactly what downloads are 
installed
and in the correct order even.  It's unfortunate it's such a pain.

Also, it might be more helpful if he opens a support tickets himself, and then 
we can
trouble shoot with him directly?  Either way, we're happy to help. Hopefully a 
full
reinstallation can solve his problem.

Thanks.
