We finally went interactive in a chat session to resolve this.

My understanding was that the following statement will add the path to
the front of the load path and Org from this location will be loaded by
(require 'org-install).

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "D:/Software/office/emacs/org-6.21b/org-6.21b/lisp")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But it kept loading the version of Org bundled with EmacsW32.  Yes, we
did clean up the compiled org files from the location
(EmacsW32/emacs/lisp/org).  Also removing the complete org directory
started throwing an error about missing location and did not seem to
load .emacs at all.  While loading Emacs site-start.el seems to somehow
expect the org directory under EmacsW32/emacs/lisp directory.

We finally ended copying latest org files to EmacsW32/emacs/lisp/org
directory.

Obviously, I do not fully understand the initialization sequence for
EmacsW32.  Could someone using EmacsW32 throw some more light on a
better procedure/technique to install Org-mode on it?

Thanks
