I love your apps, but get annoyed every time I go to install a new version and have to re-tweak my installer options. For example, I don't want a desktop icon or a quick launch icon, and I don't want to have a "Run CCleaner" option on my recycle bin. I keep having to uncheck those boxes every time.

If you're able to do this, don't forget to remember any custom install path too!

Thanks,
- Kevin

"Run CCleaner" option on my recycle bin" iv mentioned this before, and agree it should be remembered.
No fate but what we make

Don't use ccleaner ... then you get lots of extra clicks for free ;)

Not lazy at all, and it's a feature I've suggested in the past myself that I've wanted. If updating an app when installing right over the previous installation it really should remember the installer settings and only requires an .INI file that logs the choices.
Complexity of incoherent design.

they seem to conveniently ignore this suggestion. as i have made a post about it also and i have read of others which noone here seems to care about. and i was told to search the forums as this question gets asked weekly. well i did search and its not weekly and if it really is weekly noone has mentioned the reasons why they wont make updating the software remember the choices.
