Can this be safely installed?

All it does is change a few registry keys so I don't see the point of using a 60 kilobyte file to do it when a few hundred-byte .reg would've sufficed...

More info on the registry settings:

I discussed this with some members on another forum several months ago:

I'd rather just disable autoTZ and set it myself...

I've discussed this topic here already: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=76654 but nobody was interested in it.

Petr

I just had a quick look at that topic, and I'm thinking about adding time zone updates/dialing rules to the next SP. I already have dialing rules in the SP for Q327517, I just added the rules for Q750109, and I'm planning to add more as soon as I find them. Also, I plan on adding the time zone update to the SP when I get the required info.

I also just added the time zone change for Mexico in Q289502.

If anyone can point out where more changes are, please let me know ASAP.

And what about this change of dialing rules? http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=&...st&p=522114

Petr

guess I'm a little too asleep.

Those will be added as well Petr. Thanks for all the work you've done on that .inf.

So I have exported all registry entries after KB928388 applied and converted them to Windows 9x format and created both complete and update both reg and inf files, see the attachment:

 kb928388_9x.zip ( 12.24K ) Number of downloads: 66


I don't know how it is with some timezones that use "Dynamic DST" sub-branch:



Can Windows 9x use "Dynamic DST" information? Probably not.

For some timezones "TZI" = "2007", but for some not. Any idea why? What should be added to Win9x servicepacks, TZI or "2007" contents?

Petr

Thanks Petr.

the_guy

Because most users don't really care about international support (and I myself couldn't care less...)

Time zone, I'll just change it myself

If this was true, Unofficial Service Packs, SE2ME, Revolution Pack (or even your 2gb patch!) wouldn't exist in so many languages.

Really excellent stuff, thanks for all your work Petr.

I have created a Time Zone update [iexpress installer] for Windows 95/98/ME [all editions] based on Petr's REG + INF files:

I have also created a similar iexpress installer for NT4/2000/XP Pre-SP2 [experimental, please test]:

P.S.:
Same here, I don't think "Dynamic DST" applies to 9x OSes.

I'm OK with you, french colleague.

Thanks for the backup Max_04!
