MSAS does't keep afternoon scan scheduling in 24h mode

[Guest]

Hello everyone,
I've MSAS Version: 1.0.701 installed under XP Pro with french language:
with spyware Definition Version: 5807 (11/02/2006 00:29:18).

When I select the scan schedule to be done at 1 PM, respectively 13.00,
after clicking the "update schedule" buton, the registered time moves
systematically to 1 AM and of course the scan does't run while my PC is
turned off at this time of the night.

Has anyone allready found the solution for this?
Many tx in advance.

Yes it is a bug, workaround if your outside the USA:

Go to start/Control Panel/Country settings
Change Language to US English.
Click on Apply
Open MSAS change all your time settings the way you wont.
Click on "Update Schedule"
Then go back to set your default Language.
MSAS will scan and update on the right time!
Don't Click "Update Schedule", anymore, then it go's back to the AM
times again!

From Bill Sanderson
This bug is well understood, and will be fixed in beta2.

There's a workaround if you want to use the scheduler to schedule something
for a PM time:

set your Windows language setting to English (United States)

Then set the schedule desired.

Then set the language setting back to your normal choice.

The scan should take place as scheduled.

This works because English/US has a 12 hour clock format. Any 12-hour clock
format works, any 24 hour clock format evidences the bug.

Thank you so much Engel. Your solution works perfectly.

For any Frenchies experimenting the trouble, the Country settings under the
Control Panel is called "options régionales et linguistiques" in Molière's
language!
