Why do I have 2 aRGB ICC's in the Process Recipe?

As per the subject line -- why are there 2 Adobe RGB (1998) ICC's in the Process Recipe in version 6.3.2??

Based upon image properties of JPG images in Qimage to be printed from raw files that were processed in Capture One 6 Pro, it appears that perhaps one of these two aRGB ICC's actually produces JPGs with the color space sRGB. I have tried both of the aRGB ICC's and then printed the resulting JPGs in Qimage only to have it show some with the color space sRGB and some with the color space aRGB. sRGB IS listed in the ICC drop-down menu in C1's Process Recipe as the last item.

Any thoughts why there are 2 Adobe RGB (1998) ICC's in the Process Recipe -- is this normal? The images of which I speak are sent from C1 to PS CS5 and in its Color Settings, I have indicated a color space of Adobe RGB (1998).

I realize that when 3 pieces of software are used to process and print an image, that the issue could be with any one of the three -- but I have to start somewhere and thus I am starting at the beginning of the entire process -- and perhaps the answer to WHY there are 2 Adobe RGB (1998) ICC's shown in my copy of Capture One 6 Pro might lead to an answer.

Thoughts/Opinions?

Thanks,

  Morning, Mike,
  
  CS 5 (or any part thereof) installs an additional Adobe RGB profile on your system, which already ships with such an ICC profile (at least in the case of Windows 7). Other imaging software might install further profiles. Capture One shows all available colour profiles in the output tab unless you switch to “recommendedâ€. e.g. I have three sRGB profiles and two Adobe RGB profiles show up in the drop-down on my work box …
  
  It’s possible one of your two Adobe RGB profiles is wonky, or even broken. You can check what profiles are installed system-wide here:
  
  \Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
  
  Windows should ship with an Applet which lets you view and fix profiles, but as I’m not at my Windows machine right now I can’t check whether it’s installed by default.
  
  Cheers,
  -Sascha

  Thanks Sasha for a nice explanation of why I have 2 or more aRGB ICC's in the Process Recipe.
  
  I installed a fresh aRGB ICC from Adobe which was installed in Windows where you pointed out that it would be found.
  
  My problem, however, remains -- ONE of the two aRGB ICC's in the Process Recipe is flaky -- I have tried using the top one and processed the same exact image in C1 and then into PS CS5 and found that perhaps 2 out of 7 images actually were in the aRGB color space, then I tried the second aRGB ICC in the Process Recipe and got the same exact results.
  
  At this point, I am unsure of BOTH of the aRGB ICC's -- they surely are not BOTH flaky. I uninstalled Capture One 6 Pro (6.3.2) and tried an older version -- no change, and then reinstalled the latest version and again, no change.
  
  This is really frustrating -- so I guess I will make a new posting with a new subject line and see if more users can help.
  
  Thanks,
