Re: Daylight savings

Alan Knight-2
I think it ought to get the time right. I don't have Windows 7 running here, but a real XP, and a virtual Vista both seem to get it right. Does this happen with a clean image? Is the time zone you're using (TimeZone default) aSystemTimeZone?

This is on my new port to VW 7.7. The operating system is displaying the correct time.

On 7.6 we were using the OSTimeZone package, which is no longer necessary with 7.7 right? (and it breaks it badly if you load it). So how do I get the right time zone and daylight savings from the operating system with 7.7 on Windows 7?

My bad. A clean image does get it right. It looks like I missed removing a prerequiste somewhere, and the old OSTimeZone package was still loading into my scripted build, so my TimeZone default was returning an OSSystemSupportTimeZone, rather than a SystemTimeZone. Sorry for the noise.
