Installation of 1.24.1 on Windows does not appear to work properly.
The Choose Profile button remains grayed-out.
Like this:
Choose Profile not Available

Same result with either the greenfield or pdfbox installation.

Where should the profiles be located?
It appears they were installed in:
C:\Users\Ken\verapdf\profiles\veraPDF-validation-profiles-rel-1.24\

I tried moving the files and folders in that folder to:
C:\Users\Ken\verapdf\profiles\
and that had no effect.

So what needs to be done so the application can find the profiles?

I think I see what is happening.
The PDF QuickStart Guide is very old and shows a different interface - where the second line is where the user selects a profile.
Which is different from the online documentation (when finally found).
Now that second line is for selecting custom profiles which is not labeled that way - and the actual profiles selection in hidden in the PDF flavour: drop-down list.
No, that is not confusing.
Nice intuitive interface.

The Quick Start Guide should be updated (obviously).

Guess I answered my own issue.

@kenmcd these are all very valid comments. We'll reopen this issue and plan:

  • updating PDF guide
  • making GUI interface a bit more intuitive

Both GUI and the PDF documentation are updated in the latest release 1.26
