How to Clear System Update Status

Question

ThinkVantage System Update is repeatedly downloading and installing the ThinkPad Hotkey Integration Package. It tells me I have V 3.10.0000 installed and that the new version is V 3.11.0001. I allow it to install, but when I run TVSU again, it offers the same update. I've tried deferring the install and then installing offline, but nothing seems to work.
I've seen this issue with Windows updates and I know how to resolve it, but this is something completely different. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,
if you do this, then you get an error:
