The version mismatch shows you have an old version of the software running as a server. If you have not previously installed it in WSL, then it must be running in native Windows. Use tasklist to find the old server and stop it.

If you want to uninstall ollama, follow the instructions, don't delete random files.

ollama version is 0.16.2

Might have something to do with not having the projector (its a vision tool too)??? I guess when loading the one from ollama includes what we need with pull, but 27b etc are published elsewhere like github.

Same issue here... Windows native - no WSL install.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled:

ollama --version
ollama version is 0.15.6
Warning: client version is 0.17.5

I've uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times, ensuring to kill the server first, standing on my head with my tongue out, crossing my fingers, etc.,.

I figured mine out - user error 😅 I've been remoting into my OpenClaw via VSCode, which sometimes auto-discovers and auto-forwards ports for services sometimes... That's why the server was reporting an older version - that's what running over on that machine. Thanks for the assist!
