Let me know if either of the above is sufficient to solve your problem
and ensure that only the latest ELPA version of Org-mode is used through
the entire startup process. If so I will add this to the starter kit.

What I did to get around this problem is the following (in init.el):

;; remove path to org shipped with emacs

(require 'cl)

(setq load-path (remove-if (lambda (x) (string-match-p "org$" x)) load-path))

;; remember this directory

(setq starter-kit-dir

(file-name-directory (or load-file-name (buffer-file-name))))

;; add the orgmode.org ELPA package

(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)

(package-initialize)

(unless package-archive-contents ;; Refrech the packages descriptions

(package-refresh-contents))

(setq package-load-list '(all)) ;; List of packages to load

(unless (package-installed-p 'org-plus-contrib) ;; Make sure the Org package is

(package-install 'org-plus-contrib)) ;; installed, install it if not

(package-initialize) ;; Initialize & Install Package

(add-to-list 'load-path (car (file-expand-wildcards (concat starter-kit-dir "elpa/org-plus-contrib-*"))))

(require 'org)

;; load up the starter kit

(org-babel-load-file (expand-file-name "main.org" starter-kit-dir))

This solved the problem for me. I didn't come up with this though (I'm a newb when it comes to Emacs and elisp) but I've copied it from somebody.

HTH,
