Fix-it for Bangladesh 2009 Daylight Saving Time from Microsoft

About Update:

As reported in the Bangladesh Government’s Gazette, Bangladesh has announced the introduction of Daylight Saving Time (DST).  The start of DST for 2009 is on June 19th at 11:00 PM.

An optional update  is available to update the Daylight Saving Time for Bangladesh for the year 2009 for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 based computers.

This update creates a separate time zone for Bangladesh with the following DST setting:

• DST starts at 23:00:00 on June 19th, 2009
• DST ends at 23:00:00 on December 31st, 2009 *

* Note that no DST end date has been announced yet. Since the TZI (Time Zone Information) value in the registry requires DST end date and time, thus Dec 31st, 2009 is set for now until future changes overwrite it.

Applying Update:

1. Download and install the fix-it update.
2. Set your time zone to (GMT +06:00) Dhaka in the Date and Time settings.
