Cannot create profile

[gbach55]

I get to the "Player Profile Name" and it won't accept anything that I type in there. Just tells me "failed to create profile". WTF??? 3/28/2018 UPDATE... read below to find out how I fixed it!

I saw that one after I posted. But I only use Windows Defender. It made no indication of anything and no log of finding any "threat" and Train Sim installs and works perfectly. I just ran a verification of files and found no issue. I certainly am NOT turning off protection for hours on end and leaving my system vulnerable for this to download and install. Still stuck at "Player Profile Name"

Contact DTG Support.

I launched it this morning from Explorer (WINDOWS\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Tran Sim World\WindowsNoEditor\TS2Prototype.exe) as admisnstrator. Windows asked me if I wanted this program to change things on the hard drive. I answered yes and it launched and allowed me to create the player profile. Why couldn't anyone mention that? Especially DTG Support.

I'm in! Quite nice so far even if I don't have quite the recommended specs! I think I will enjoy this. This seems to have a lot of what I desired from Train Sim... namely controlling the human and not just the train.
