GetFileTime and daylight savings

FileAnt · 10th December 2004, 23:31

I use the following code for files without versions, but after my computer entered daylight savings it is out a bit. Is there a way to filter out the time or should I be using GetFileTimeLocal?

ReadINIStr $3 "$INSTDIR\update.ver" "files" "$1"
ReadINIStr $5 "$INSTDIR\update.ver" "path" "$3"
ReadINIStr $4 "$INSTDIR\update.ver" "hw" "$3"
GetFileTime "$5$3" $R0 $R1
IntCmp $4 $R0 haslatest haslatest dldatezip

This may also be the cause...

ZipDLL::extractfile "$INSTDIR\updates\$1.zip" "$TEMP" "$3"
Delete /REBOOTOK "$5$3"
Rename /REBOOTOK "$TEMP\$3" "$5$3"

Yes, daylight saving is a part of 'local time'.

A quick and dirty method. I needed to divide both $4 and $R0 by a number to get an integer result that would always be the same.

I think this is resolved to 48 hours... do you think i could resolve it to 24 hours?... my mind boggles when i try to think about the earth spinning in timezones.

IntOp $4 $4 / 384
IntOp $R0 $R0 / 384

When I test the generic updater nsi i will post the code on my website when I get time, with an update builder which is pretty cool and almost makes it a one step, one second process. Maybe early next year.
