TimeZone Addon

FIXED............. This is the same as all others posted by me in this thread now.

The following addon pack should fix the timezone issues:

If you care to try this TimeZone addon, I included section to delete timezones from hlkm/software/microsoft/windows nt/currentversion before adding the newest microsoft updated timezone information.

I also went ahead and used my standard strings in this version to reduce the size, although overall was minimal size saving since the inf compresses significantly anyway.

I was looking at this add-on this morning and had to leave before being able to post about the problem I found. You have two add.reg sections, one immediately after the other. The second section isn't referenced by the Optional Component section and there is nothing under the first section, so your add-on won't make any difference the way it's written.

i tested this on a vm ware last night and it made no difference,so maybe the 2nd addreg section have entries that are needed.

edit:ok ive cheked the inf out i understand,this will never work liek it is a simple solution is to delete the "[KB942763.Add.Reg]" header.

NO toes to worry about here dougie, thank you, DrN had pointed out the error as well.... was in a haste to leave for work and left an extra section header in. I left the strings out, to save time in implementation... 6 of 1, half a dozen of another.

FIXED, same link as all other links by me in this thread now....

Thanks Rick.... I have edited all of my posts here to link to the newest addon that you have confirmed works.

Can you guys try 2.2.1b3 without this addon? Hopefully it isn't needed anymore.
