Show us the real code. :-) I count 3 quotation marks in the 1st line. Number
must be even.

In general, use Sytem.IO.Path.Combine to build pathes. No backslash twiddling
anymore. However, I don't have an answer to why you get that path. Here, BaseDirectory
returns the path of the directory containing the Exe file. Haven't use the property
before; I've always extracted the path from Application.ExecutablePath. Maybe
you can give it a try also.
