Microsoft “Dhaka” daylight savings patch

Microsoft Bangladesh today announced a patch based fix to address the Day Light Saving Time (DST) which is supposed to be effective in Bangladesh from June 19th at 11PM. This fix can be downloaded from Microsoft’s corporate website by going to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972423 and will be applicable to Computers running on Microsoft operating systems Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003. Users may have to take additional steps for any other Operating system or application they are using.

Users have to download the .msi file from the given website, run it and then choose “(GMT+06:00) DHAKA” option from the “Time Zone Settings” instead of “Astana, Dhaka” and check on the “AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST CLOCK FOR DAY LIGHT SAVING TIME” to enable DST. This would automatically adjust the clock on June 19th at 11PM from when the DST would be effective.
