[AWIPS #APZ-232896]: Windows Install

Hi Jesse,

Dang, I'm sorry to hear that didn't work.

I think this is the issue too.  Do you now have a Miniconda3 or miniconda3 
folder in
your home directory?

When you went through the miniconda installation dialog, did you have 
administrative 
privileges?  Did it ever prompt for an admin password?

I'm starting to think this is the only noticeable difference between your 
machine, and 
other machines which we've successfully installed CAVE (and all dependencies 
on).  
I assume you really don't want to get rid of Anaconda since you're probably 
already 
using python for some other projects on that machine, correct?

Do you have any other machine at your disposal, so you wouldn't have to 
clobber/erase
your Anaconda installation?

The only other suggestion would be to fully uninstall both Anaconda and 
Miniconda 
*again*, and then reinstall Miniconda again and set up all your python 
environments in
miniconda.  Although I don't know how much work that will take to make sure 
existing
python projects will still work.

Did you re-run the awips-cave.msi file?
We did change our installer to try and identify the proper miniconda path and 
put the 
gridslice package in there appropriately, but it sounds like something went 
wrong there.
