Typescript won't update to latest version (NPM)

today I wanted to install a newer version of Typescript since the one installed on this machine is 1.0.3.0 (issuing the command tsc --v)

When I type in npm install -g typescript@latest I get this output:

%APPDATA%\npm\tsc -> %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc
%APPDATA%\npm\tsserver -> %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsserver
%APPDATA%\npm
`-- [email protected]

(I replaced my full path to \Appdata\Roaming directory with %APPDATA% for the sake of readibility).

This leads me to think that I already have [email protected] which appears to be the latest, but if I type in tsc --v again, I still see 1.0.3.0

How do I "force" the ugprade of TSC?

Thanks

Thanks to Sebastian Sebald, I found a solution:

The output of where tsc was this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\tsc.exe 
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\tsc.js 
%APPDATA%\npm\tsc 
%APPDATA%\npm\tsc.cmd

This lead to npm telling me that it had already installed [email protected], but when I typed tsc I actually was using C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\tsc.exe.

I removed C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0 from my PATHvariable et voilat!

Thanks everybody.
