@MrNxDmX

I tried this addon and it did fix the time zone problem but the date was still set wrong as if the computer was still set to the Kabul Time zone. Do you think there is a date issue here because if the date is wrong even with the time zone being set right now the computer will still not update the the time because it will complain that the date it wrong here is the error message when trying the internet update. (For security reasons, Windows can not synchronize with the server because your date does not match. Please fix the date and try again.) I wounder if the time zone issue has something to do with the date problem. The BIOS date is set right before the test install so it is not a computer issue something is changing the date...

@MrNxDmX

worked perfectly, two realtime installs-nlite 1.4.1 and Integrator RC3-solves all problems for me with inf popup and TZ

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:03 pm

@ dolivas, i have once seen that issue in my vmware install. But after that, i tried a new install, and the error didnt happen again. I'm sure the addon works ok, as others said same too. I suggest you to do a new install. I hope the date issue doesnt occur again.
The date is not related with time zone addon or time zone settings. Time zone changes the clock 1 or 2 hours only (IMO). It doesnt change the date. (sorry for my english)

@ all: Thanks for reporting. I'm happy that i could help you

SoKoOLz · Post by **SoKoOLz** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 10:18 pm

ok, I've tested it.
This addon works great and no more Advanced INF popup!

Fox · Post by **Fox** » Tue Jan 22, 2008 4:41 am

Oh that's why that popup disappeared. Now if I can figure out what's installing an unsigned battery driver... Anyway, this fixed everything for me too.

Hello all,

I don't quite understand what this fixes exactly.

There seem to be two issues with the latest update pack:

(1) An "Advanced INF install" popup at T13
(2) The Kabul time zone issue

Now (1) has been solved by editing the RyanSvcpk.inf file (posted somewhere on this forum). However, I am not aware of any solution to the Kabul TZ problem. In fact, I am not aware of any info as to why this problem occurs in the first place.

Does this claim to solve that too?
Or are these two problems connected?

Enlighten me...

SymSpaceT, yes this addon solves 2 problems you listed

I hope Ryan can find a workaround for it. Me have kabul issue in my turkish update pack too

Is it a secret, how the KabulTZ is fixed by this? I don't get it.

If it is a fix, why would a "workaround" be needed? I don't get it.

Post by **RyanVM** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 10:58 pm

No, it won't be (I'm not even sure why he posted it when I told him yesterday to not bother...)

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:47 am

Yep, Ryan told me not to post, but i couldnt wait

This is not needed anymore, with Ryans 2.2.1b4 release. Topic can be locked or deleted.

Ok. I modified Ryans latest inf again. Changed topic title.
Not tested yet. Doing an integration now. Please test and give feedback, so we can be sure what's going wrong.

I disabled tzchange commands in the inf file. Tested in vmware, and I confirm it works.

All you need to change in ryans inf is

This:

Code: Select all

[T13] 
AddReg         =T13.KB932716.AddReg,T13.KB942615.AddReg,T13.UpdateTimeZones.AddReg

SmartReboot      =N

To:

Code: Select all

[T13] 
RunPreSetupCommands   =T13.UpdateTimeZones.RunCommand:1 
AddReg         =T13.KB932716.AddReg,T13.KB942615.AddReg,T13.UpdateTimeZones.AddReg

SmartReboot      =N

Thanks to kontini for finding it.

I have tested this and it is working.

Here is an entries file that will fix it. Just copy the text from here and name the file "Entries_TimezoneFix.ini":

Hmm... that's odd. I think nLite uses [ExtraFileEdits] thats is all this addon uses. Anyone tried the addon in the rvmintegrator and still end up in kabul?

@mara... can you check the inf file and see if the changes were made to the file?

mara- · Post by **mara-** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:29 pm

I checked the .ini file and it seems that changes were made, but just to be sure I'll do one more test tomorrow with your integrator and I'll post the results.

Cheers

Hi All.

I tried that Addon with rvmintergrator and also still landed up in Kabul.

Checked the ini.....all seems to be there,
but the commands are all in one(1) line.....
not nicely after one another as per the example....

Does this actually make a difference???

mara- · Post by **mara-** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 1:28 pm

OK, I tested with RVM Integrator RC6 and still in Kabul.

I did not followed all post about pack and this fix, but I hope that everyone knows that this is not bug with Ryans pack, it is Microsoft bug which appears with KB933360.

Cheers

Now that sounds odd. I double checked the syntax of the addon and it looks right. I'll test it and find out.

This is how commands look in RVMUpPCK.ini:

Code: Select all

[T13]
AddReg=T13.KB932716.AddReg,T13.KB942615.AddReg,T13.UpdateTimeZones.AddReg
RunPostSetupCommands=T13.KB922120.RunCommand:1,T13.KB931125.RunCommand:1,T13.MSXML.RunCommand:1,T13.ResetWMI.RunCommand:1,T13.UpdateTimeZones.RunCommand:1
SmartReboot		=N

Is this OK?

Cheers

nope.. should look like the following (after the fix that is)

Code: Select all

[T13]
RunPreSetupCommands   =T13.UpdateTimeZones.RunCommand:1
AddReg                           =T13.KB932716.AddReg,T13.KB942615.AddReg,T13.UpdateTimeZones.AddReg

mara-, try this addon instead:

Download: --removed link permanantly. Check first post--
Size: 32KB / MD5: 19F2C220384BE77E98B309ECA9A056F1

It just overwrites rvmuppck.inf file with modified one

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 10:59 pm

I noticed that when the code is posted it adds a space to every line. I wonder if that is why the code I posted didn't work. But overwriting the file works fine.

Thx MrNxDmX.

MrNxDmX · Post by **MrNxDmX** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 5:15 am

Thank you too bro

Updated first post with new addon that contains the modified inf file.

Hi Again,

This time used Intergrator RC6 with TimeZoneFix_Addon_v4

Everything 100%

Tested with nLite and it works like a charm. I'm glad that this is solved now, since this is one step closer to Ryan's final pack.
