I am not sure if this is already reported. But for some reason, adding Installation Profiles under Content shows only Desktop and Desktop folders. I couldn't see the folder browser option.
Am I missing something?
I have my MSTS installed in E: partition, but there seems to be no way to navigate using the "Change" path in the Content tab.

I also see Desktop at the top, but under Desktop I have "This PC", and through it I can reach any folder.

It's the same for me as for Csantucci. You could try running Open Rails as an administrator and see if that helps.

there is a thread here that deals with that issue. I don't remember the name but it has to do with windows priorities. Sorry I can't be of more help but it did solve the problem for me.

unlinked the OneDrive from the new machine and shut down OneDrive on the machine. sorry this was over at trainsim posted by pjchris

Thanks to all for your responses. I resolved the issue:

Solution is to stop One Drive backup for the desktop folders.

Just so you know, the desktop is a windows protected folder and comes with the same issues as the programs folder.
It can and will cause problems.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm sure someone will meet it in the future, so good to have a resolution on the record.
