Heard that, having installables make some of the things required MUCH
easier. WinZip should suit your some of your purposes [hopefully], and a
heck of a lot eaiser than some other installers. Much beyond the simple
stuff though and your in a whole other world. Plus your what, dealing with
mostly XP now aren't you? Or are we still L.O.L.ing.

Course ya know we're all rootin for ya.. beat the crap out of what ever it
is...

| | Thanks, I'll look into those. The one I was referring to was WinZip's.

| Sourceforge [and I realize some are wary of that] has some other useful

| | | Okay, to cut the rest, so it seems at present then we should be
| | recommending
| | | the MDGX fix OR advising the time change requirements after
| Gary's,
| | i.e., to
| | | something else then back again.
| | |
| | | So Tom, sorry, apparently I have directed you to the file/fix
| which
| | would
| | | require the changing, whereas, the MDGX fix does not require it.
| Or
| at
| | least
| | | that's what we are finding here. I should have directed you
there.
| | |
| | | I don't know what the MDGX fix consists of, they have not released
| the
| | | code for their fix so I can't comment on it. Gary's fix is fine
but
| for
| | | the fix to function properly users should be instructed to refresh
| their
| | | time zone setting in the Control Panel. And here is another one
to
| | | throw in the mix:

| | MGDX likely pulled/posted the file from the related forum discussion
| on
| | MSFN. Generally they go through/pull apart the creation part within
a
| | discussion related to the files MGDX ends up posting on the site. So
| if
| | your
| | really interested in the creation process and/or source, a quick
| search
| | can
| | be instructive, as generally found within the related discussion and
| its
| | threads.
