Description

This issue has been driving me crazy for the past 2 days.

When I run keybase decrypt I get this error

2016-10-14T10:49:17.022707 - [WARN keybase api.go:331] 001 Upgrade recommended to client version 1.0.16 or above (you have v1.0.15)
2016-10-14T10:49:17.022707 - [WARN keybase upgrade_instructions.go:84] 002 To upgrade, download the latest Keybase installer from https://keybase.io/download

But I DO have the latest client. I also tried to build it from source and it yields the same error.

I have Windows 7 x64

Research direction

Start by reproducing keybase decrypt on Windows 7 x64 and inspect the warning locations named in api.go:331 and upgrade_instructions.go:84. Trace how the installed client version is detected, then verify that an up-to-date client no longer receives the outdated-version warning.
