[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 768 bytes --]

Hello,

I am returning to emacs after a brief try out some time ago. As Org-mode is
now part of the distribution I'm no longer too sure how to update it. Before
I had a folder for Org-mode that my .emacs file pointed to and I just copied
all the new files into that folder.

I have replaced the main org.el in the Emacs textmodes directory, which is
now launching from Emacs as 5.13i, but I'm not sure what I should be doing
with the other files

I'm on Windows and haven't been compiling the lisp files.

I also now realise how much I had to learn to get Emacs working and that
I've forgotten it all. However as org.mode is one of the main reasons for
coming back to Emacs, I would appreciate a bit of quick help to get me up
and running again.

Many thanks,

Graham

  Welcome back to Emacs :)
  
  Unless you're using Emacs CVS, it's likely that you want to download the
  whole Org package every now and then, and make sure you are using org.el
  that comes with it.
  
  To get the latest Org distribution, I am using Pete's script (attached).
  Please have a look at it; you certainly want to modify variables to make
  it work in your environment.

  To load the most recent org.el, always put it in the same location and
  add this location to your load-path in ~/.emacs:
  
  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/testing/org/")
  
  Then doing a simple (require 'org-install) somewhere after this should
  do the trick.  It will override any org.el that you might already have
  in your .../emacs/lisp/ directory.

    Bastien,
    
    Thanks but that is roughly what I "think" I was doing and didn't work.
    
    I have a directory called "emacsaddins" with a subdirectory called
    "Orgmode".
    
    Together with lines in .emacs to load and require orgmode from that
    directory.
    
    In the past I have just overwritten the contents of the "Orgmode" directory
    with the latest release and that has then been the version then loaded in
    Emacs.
    
    On this occasion I over wrote the contents of the orgmode directory with
    5.13i, but Emacs still loaded 4.67. hence my question about updating because
    what I was doing in the past didn't work. Which I assumed was because
    OrgMode was part of Emacs now.
    
    Having said that the lines in my .emac is slightly different.
    
    (add-to-list 'load-path "C:\\Program Files\\EmacAddIns\\org-mode")
     (require 'org)
    
    but this seemed to work in the past
    
    I'm afraid I don't know how to use the script you have attached :-(
    
    Sorry I'm being so dim

      I guess this should come in lower-case, no?
      
      (Very unlikely the erro comes from this though, this should return an
      error...)

      Maybe Windows people in this list have other ways of automating the
      process of updating their Org installation -- and will share on the
      list...

        Graham,
        
        if you have 4NT you can use the following batch file to do the
        installation. Obviously you should change the directories at the top
        of the file to suit your setup. Just download the latest org-xxx.zip
        and then do org_update xxx and emacs will use the latest org-mode. I
        have 
        
        (setq load-path
              (cons "~/.emacs.d/elisp" load-path))
        
        in my .emacs so that emacs knows to look there for addon packages. I
        also have an environment variable INFOPATH set to include
        ~/.elisp.d/info before the standard emacs info directory, so that info
        in emacs picks up the documentation for the latest version.
