Has anyone yet managed to get the Microsoft fix for WA Daylight Saving
(Windows-KB928939-ENU.msi ) to work on Windows Vista (I have the Home Premium
version)?

I have downloaded it a number of times and it has gone through an install
operation, but it doesn't work. The Control Panel indicates that "Western
Australia Time Zone Update" was installed on 1 February, which was the first
time I tried.

Any ideas, anyone? Everytime Windows automatically synchronises the time it
send me back to GMT + 8, and the Date & Time screen states that "Daylight
Saving Time is not observed by this zone.

I don't know what else to say.
Enterprise at the office - works OK
Xp Pro Sp2 at home - works OK

Give this a try.
Set your time to Brisbane.
Ininstall the first installation.
Re-install the download.
Check the date/time tab and see if there
is now a box that you can click to allow
for 'daylight saving' under GMT + 8 Perth .
You MUST have Admin Priv' to install this update !!!
If not I just don't have an answer.

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't work either!

Have you tried downloading "Tardis" (the time fixing one I mean) and letting
IT auto set the time instead of letting Windows do it?

My info was Vista does not need the DST fix as it understand the problem
whereas XP does not

No, I haven't tried that. I was more interested in knowing why something
that worked with XP Home, and which Microsoft says has been updated for
Vista, doesn't appear to work - at least on my PC.

Thanks for your input.

I am having the problem also. Out of the box my Vista (Business version)
says that Perth doesn't have daylight saving. I have installed the fix from
Microsoft for Vista and it doesn't work.

Am having heaps of different types of strange config errors with Vista. Is
it all broken? May have to go back to XP.
