Ye Olde org-with-silent-modifications problem

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 831 bytes --]

I know that the cause of this message is usually installing org-mode from
elpa in a session that has already accessed org files:

org-refresh-category-properties: Invalid function:
org-with-silent-modifications


However, I have tried to reinstall in a "clean" fashion several times and
so far no luck. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My setup is on Windows, with this version

Org-mode version 8.0.6 (8.0.6-5-gb4a8ec-elpaplus @
c:/Users/Tom/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130722/)


I wonder if the problem is that my emacs initialization files are org-mode
files, based of Eric Schulte's starter kit? I have tried doing an uninstall
orgmode, restart, restart, restart, install org-mode to ensure that there
are no changes to org-mode init files that would cause them to be
re-installed, but I don't see anything there.

Pardon me for resurrecting an old thread, but I am sorry to report that I'm experiencing the issue described below today.

Since I use eschulte's starter kit for my emacs initialization, it's not easy to start a fresh emacs and install org-mode from ELPA before calling any org-mode functions.

Presently I'm going to start emacs -Q and manually set up the package repos and install org-mode.

I'm vaguely concerned that it will get installed in the wrong directory or something...  Let's see.

Cheers,

Well, I overestimated the required effort.  This is done, apparently successfully.
