Beginning with version 5.2, the DNG Converter installer will install not only the DNG Converter application, but also the camera profiles. This is necessary because when the DNG Converter produces a DNG from a non-DNG raw file (e.g., a CR2 or NEF raw file), the DNG Converter needs to embed a camera color profile into the DNG. This requires the profiles to be installed on your system.
