[Chameleon] Same old install problem

[Paul Spencer]

Jacob,

which template are you using?  I wasn't aware that any of the samples 
were using MapImageStatic or MapImageWidget ...

re the temporary paths, what paths was it configured for and what did 
you create/change to get it to work?

Thanks for the hard work!

Paul
