Background: I run 1.14.3 in a separate directory folder from .minecraft

 

Whenever I try to install Forge for 1.14.3 and choose the directory I use, it comes up with an error saying "The directory is missing a launcher profile. Please run the minecraft launcher first." Even after running the launcher (several times) it doesn't work. 

 

Here is an image of the installer, if it helps. (the folder is called 'aaaaaaaaaa' because i couldn't be bothered to think of a better name. It's just a folder i put everything in when my desktop becomes too cluttered).

Edit: I forgot to mention that i installed it in the default .minecraft folder before, but realised it wouldn't work as the directory for 1.14.3 isn't in .minecraft. Don't know if this helps, just adding it in case.

I don't know what you mean by this, but you must always choose your .minecraft folder when installing the client with the installer. Even for 1.14.3.

I mean I changed the location because the launch directory for 1.14.3 is in a different folder, because I changed it. I'll see if I can put it back.

I can also say that OneDrive's weird file permissions can and have messed with Minecraft in the past.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

I'm having the exact same issue, and every thread I have found that asks this question just has snarky answers like "you're clearly out of your depth." Can someone please answer this?
