Dear Jeff, Thanks for your fast reply. No problem with manually installing the Basemap data files -- indeed, this is just what I do intend in order to create a frozen application. But other than setting up the BASEMAPDATA environment variable, is there any way to tell an application to look for the data in a specific directory?
