Re: [WiX-users] setting computer regional time format
There's no supported API for doing this either. Setting it in the registry would be possible but I wouldn't like to support it - it could well have changed between Windows XP and Windows Vista, and could also change in future.

I can only agree with the others. Your program is seriously broken, you need to fix it first. I would never buy a program myself that would want to fiddle with my personal operating system settings.

Unless the installer is for a very controlled environment (in which case the machine is likely to be mirrored and have the correct settings anyway) it's just a bad idea all round.

Re: [WiX-users] setting computer regional time format
that seems like a Bad Idea(tm) to me, as a user in a locale that's usually affected by "hardcoded decimal point programming" I definately do *not* want a random installer go fiddle with my regional settings just because the programmers didn't get it right. Fix your software instead IMO. regards, Simon ps. sorry if the wording turned out harsh On 4/3/07, Some user <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I need to change the user's regional time format on a computer http://www.nabble.com/file/7627/Untitled.gif During the installation.
