That behavior already exists, and the information is stored in the
gwtoolkit.ini. It sounds like ini got removed or modified somehow.
Normally, all files associated with an app package are removed when an
app is updated, but that should not affect the ini, as it's not included
in the package.
Make your selection in the update notification dialog, then look in the
gwtoolkit.ini for a section called App_Updates. You'll find an entry
called Expiration, which has a date and time, something like 10/5/2011
8:06:04 am. Verify that entry exists, and then re-install the latest
toolkit, and see if you get prompted again. Then check the ini to make
sure the information is still the same.
Let me know what you find.
Thanks,
Aaron

A little while back, we had a discussion on the lists, about the
Automatic notification of app updates. The result was, that GW built a
routine for us, to choose when we want to have update notifications
displayed. Thanks GW.
I had set the notification rate for my system so that it would notify
me next week. Right now, as I turned on my computer, I made a manual
check for updates. This due to habital behavior of mine. Yes, it told
me, there was a couple of updates. GWToolkit, Hotspot and the WEDiag.
Well, I started by installing the GWToolkit update. And everything
seemed to go well. The app installed as expected.
But, then! Here comes up the update screen, asking me to select how
often I want the notifications of updates to popup. Namely the thing I
had already set to weekly. Bit puzzled why, and wonder if others have
seen the same behavior.
My suggestion here would be, if GW could somehow store the choice the
user makes; so he doesn't have to make that kind of choice ever so
often. Once set, that probably is what the user really wants. He
doesn't want to have to make his choice of preference any given
moment. GW, could this be fixed in further updates?
