[AWIPS #NKZ-238833]: missing procedures and custom points

Hey Jim,

> Glad to see you're still here. You helped me a lot about a year ago. 

Yes, of course!  Happy to help.

> I'm running v18 with direct install windows. I have three questions

I think you've already successfully installed v20, but I'll answer the 
questions from your
first email first.

> 1. What and how to remove stuff that is not needed from v18?

Everything gets removed from your machine if you search for "add remove 
programs" in your 
Windows search bar and remove CAVE from your machine. Then you should be able 
to install the
new version of CAVE with no issues.

These we may or may not be able to restore.  If you give us the following 
information we can 
look into transferring your saved files from v18 EDEX to our new v20 EDEX.
- the computer name
- your username
on the computer you run CAVE from.

> 3. Is there anything else I need to know?

This version of CAVE has Python all packaged with the installer, so you no 
longer need to 
change any of your environment variables.  In fact, to avoid issues, we 
recommend you go and
remove the PYTHONPATH PYTHONHOME and JAVA HOME variables if you had previous 
set them.

For this problem, you have to change the High DPI settings on the CAVE 
executable.  Please
follow the instructions outlined here and let me know if that fixes the issue:

Please let me know if that helps.
Thanks!
