"The directory is missing a launcher profile"

I just installed the 'javaless' minecraft launcher (as recommended by the game itself).  I decided to get Forge and install the client, but I get the "directory is missing launcher profile" error message and I am not able to find it where FORGE thinks it is.  Any ideas in how to install the client? I'm using Forge 11.14.0 for Minecraft 1.8.

    The "javaless" (it's not really without java, but ok) Launcher should still point to .minecraft.

    That's what I thought... I'm also on Win7 using PC.  So weird.

    Found it. Did some sleuthing. Apparently if your profile name is not the same as your user account, it won't find it. Weird. :)
