This Country Kit for Autodesk Civil 3D 2020 has the following known issue:

There is a specific scenario where the Country Kit content is installed in default locations despite being configured otherwise.

This occurs when:

• The Country Kit is added to a deployment as additional software
• The deployment specifies "Support Content" locations other than "Local user profile folders"
• The Country Kit is the first instance of Autodesk Civil 3D 2020 launched on the workstation

The workaround for this issue is to launch another Autodesk Civil 3D 2020 profile such as "Metric" first, then launch the Country Kit.  In this case, the inital launch of the Country Kit will find the specified folders and place content properly.
