Try this. Open a command shell and run

        "C:\Program Files\Nmap\zenmap.exe" -v -v -v

Then run a scan and quit the program. That should leave a debug log
C:\Program Files\Nmap\zenmap.exe.log. In that file will be a line
looking like

        DEBUG - 2008-11-19 12:49:55,921 - PATH=...

What follows PATH= is a list of directories. One of them will contain
the old Nmap. One of the directories will be the same one that
zenmap.exe is in. Make sure there's no out-of-date Nmap there either.

A file search may not have found the old Nmap if it is in a system
directory.
