Hi Achim, I managed to fix my installation (at least so far) with the addition of (require 'org-install) Thanks for your comments as they led me to try this solution. One question: when you wrote "outdated autoload definitions" did you mean that I should be using some other form to specify the load path (I was loading from (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-7.8.09/") rather than from (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-6.36/lisp")? Regarding the installation instructions: At first I started here (http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation) but since I am running on windows 7, I have no access to "Make". I want to avoid installing cywin as it typically fails to track windows 7 x64. As far as I can tell, make is unnecessary as well since you can hand compile all the files (as I described in my bug report). It's my mistake that I failed to notice the requirement to add (require 'org-install). Here's a suggestion that might help others who encounter similar problems: Augment the installation description (http://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html#Installation) with a short description for windows users (that avoids the use of make).
