Re: [Orgmode] Installing on windows

[Saurabh Agrawal]

Presently I have org-mode 6.16 installed, which came default with
latest release of emacs win32. However, I just downloaded version
6.21b and tried to do as you said. However, "org-version" is still
showing 6.16.

Will we have to unlink earlier version somehow?

Regards,

Saurabh.
