Guest jhTommy Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Last Sunday (10/26/2008) all my Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 Server SP2 got their date changed back one hour. Any idea why? How do I repair this problem? I've already read and gone through the following thread and it's not working for me. http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/windowsxp/264794/Windows-XP-SP3-handles-Daylight-Savings-Time-end-incorrectly When I apply the patch to both 2003 sever or XP SP3, I got the following error: Update cannot be installed as a newer or same timezone update has already been installed on the system Any help is much appreciated.

Guest jhTommy Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: Windows XP SP3 and 2003 Server handles DST incorrectly Thanks for the help. I needed for GMT -6. Will those two hotfixes fix my GMT - 6 time zone? Thee Chicago Wolf wrote: >>Last Sunday (10/26/2008) all my Windows XP SP3 and Windows 2003 Server SP2 >>got their date changed back one hour.

Guest jhTommy Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: Windows XP SP3 and 2003 Server handles DST incorrectly Okay, I tried both fixes and I got the same error message: Update cannot be installed as a newer or same timezone update has already been installed on the system Any other suggestion? jhTommy wrote: >Thanks for the help.

Yes. Open windows explorer and search the C:\Windows folder and look for file tzchange.exe, it should show up in \Windows\system32, and have a date of 9/8/2008. Right click it, choose properties and check the version info. The most current version is 5.1.2600.5671. What does your show? Do the same search procedure for w32time.dll. It'll be in \Windows\System32, a date of 7/4/2008, and version of 5.1.2600.5635. Is this correct for you as well? - Thee Chicago Wolf
Guest Alan Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: Windows XP SP3 and 2003 Server handles DST incorrectly Hi, This has been a problem for some others -- including me. I also tried to install the patch, and got the same error message that you did. Please see http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_frm/thread/09f6e1f43f7a6dcf/30ec8274a99dffb7#30ec8274a99dffb7 for more information. I've more or less given up trying to fix this and just will wait until this coming Sunday when DST officially ends here in the USA.

Guest Alan Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Re: Windows XP SP3 and 2003 Server handles DST incorrectly Hi Three Chicago Wolf, I'm having the exact same problem as jhTommy. Please see my earlier post at http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_frm/thread/09f6e1f43f7a6dcf/30ec8274a99dffb7#30ec8274a99dffb7 My tzchange.exe is version 5.1.2600.5640 and is dated 7/11/08. My w32time.dll is version 5.1.2600.5512 and is dated 4/14/08. Yet, when I download WindowsXP-KB951072-v2-x86-ENU.exe and try to install it, like the OP I receive the message: " Update cannot be installed as a newer or same timezone update has already been installed on the system."

Are you running these updates as the Admin account? Try to run those updates again in Safe Mode. There's no way it should be kicking back an error message that you have a newer version installed because you can't possibly have a newer version installed. Something else is wrong with your computer if that is happening. - Thee Chicago Wolf

I received the same error message: " Update cannot be installed >as a newer or same timezone update has already been installed on the >system." Something else is wrong with your PC then. There's no way this behavior is normal or should be happening. Try installing the updated version of Windows Installer 4.5 (XP version is 3.1), reboot, and try the patches again.

Guest Alan Posted October 29, 2008 Posted October 29, 2008 Re: Windows XP SP3 and 2003 Server handles DST incorrectly I had been running the Time Zone update from my own account, which has admin privileges. Just now, I logged into the built-in Admin account in Safe Mode and tried running it. I received the same error message: " Update cannot be installed as a newer or same timezone update has already been installed on the system."

Sorry but something must be seriously wrong with your computer. I guess you could always try and manually install the files. Run the patch and at the screen where it would say Next>, open Windows Explorer and look at you C: drive. Look for a folder called 253jh45gjh23453h254gh45hj43 or some such name, look inside for an SP3QFE folder, locate the tzchange.exe file inside and copy it somewhere safe like Desktop. Do this same procedure for the other patch, copy the w32time.dll to Desktop as well. Go to \Windows\System32 and find the old tzchange.exe and w32time.dll and copy them somewhere safe, NOT to Desktop. Now, copy the w32time.dll and tzchange.exe from Desktop to \Windows\System32 and overwrite what's there. It should let you overwrite. You may have to copy win32time.dll to \Windows\dllcache as well or if you try and overwrite w32time in \System32 Windows may try to replace it with what IT thinks it needs. Beyond this, I don't know what else to tell you. - Thee Chicago Wolf
