ssc install wbopendata does not download the latest version

[Anna Raggl]

Dear Statalist users,

I am working with the user-written package wbopendata from SSC using Stata 13.1 for Windows, but I am not able to install the latest version of it.
By typing

ssc insall wbopendata, replace

it get

checking wbopendata consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into c:\ado\plus\...
installation complete.

and that confirms successful installation. But when I check the version of the package by

which wbopendata

I get

C:\Program Files\Stata\ado\site\w\wbopendata.ado
*! v 10  22jan2012               by Joao Pedro Azevedo                       *

and Version 10 from 22jan2012 is not the latest version of the package, it is supposed to be Version 13 (http://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/...module-upgrade)

I am thankful for suggestions or for hints where to find the ado file of the most recent version for manual installation.

Best,
Anna

As I read it, only the program author can fix this problem. He needs to send Kit Baum the latest code. You may need to contact him directly. He hasn't visited here since 28 Jun 2014.

Thank you for the prompt response. The puzzling thing is, that a colleague of mine receives a more recent version of the package using

ssc install wbopendata, replace

and I do not understand why I do not get the same version.

Well, I took you at your word in #1. It seems on checking that your colleague is right. This is what I see on SSC.


*! v 13.4 01jul2014 by Joao Pedro Azevedo

You should check your system carefully for multiple versions.

Thanks a lot for your help!
In addition to

ado uninstall wbopendata

I now also manually deleted remaining files related to wbopendata. After doing that I was able to download v 13.4.
