Hi Chris,
The Windows client does not include the latest update or the GOES-R display
plugins. I've been unable to release a working 17.1.1 Windows client and
have shelved it for now, only supporting updates on Mac and Linux.
Because of this, I can not recommend Windows workstations for AWIPS at this
time. CentOS 6 or 7 Linux, or macOS, are the only currently supported
operating systems for CAVE. I feel bad leaving that 16.2.2 Windows client
out there but to download and install but having an old client available is
better than no client available.
