Hi Andrew. 
Aha! My mistake, I'd seen that flag but thought it was only for plugins and not also for profiles. 
Thanks for your promt reply.

Hey Rob,

Yes, you can do this. You need to create a directory and then place the
new profiles in it. Then set --plugins=<path to new dir> as the first
argument after the standlone exe name. If you place --plugins as
anything but the first arg then it won't be recognized. Please let me
know if you have any issues with this.

Thanks,
