Hello,

Sorry you are having some problems. Our windows build is very particular and 
each step is needed. 

I'm confused about your JAVA JDK download. The link 
(https://downloads.unidata.ucar.edu/awips2/current/windows/jdk-8u181-windows-x64.exe)
 should download a jdk-8u181 executable (not a folder). Once you run that, it 
should install a directory in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_181 (you may 
already have a different jre installed which should be fine).

Were you able to successfully install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 and 
install numpy and jep?

Thanks,

Tiffany Meyer
