Uninstalling app w/ automatic updater

I've noticed that, after uninstalling and reinstalling my application, the last checked date that the Automatic Updater stores is not reset. Could you tell me where the date is stored and whether there's an easy way to remove this data when uninstalling my app? ❓

Hey Matt,

Hmmm... you're right, we should probably build an easy way to do this. In the meantime you can do a quick and dirty automatic updater reset by first getting the GUID of your AutomaticUpdater. (See the GUID property).

Let's say your GUID value is "YOUR-GUID". Deleting the following file with "clear" the current state of the AutomaticUpdater:

%appdata%\wyUpdate AU\YOUR-GUID.autoupdate

Note that his doesn't cleanup any downloaded or partially extracted updates. Doing that programatically is a bit more complicated. We're going to add an easier way to do this in the future. Thanks for bringing this problem to our attention.
