Country detection is wrong when country name is localized in the registry

Please test http://wubi-installer.org/devel/minefield/Wubi-8.04-beta-rev503.exe

The preseed.cfg lists the following on line 138
d-i time/zone string America/St_Johns

I didn't reboot into the installer, but I'm pretty sure the time will
change.

Can you pls provide the wubi logs in your user temp folder (%temp%)

JcMarco, in your case I get

country=CA
GMT=-4

GMT comes from HKLM SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation ActiveTimeBias
Canada with GMT of -4 gives me -4=America/St_Johns

Is the GMT incorrect in windows maybe? Use regedit to check the registry key above.

ActiveTimeBias is set to 0xf0
Bias is set to 0x12c
Daylight name is set to "Est (heure d'été)"
Standard name is set to "Est"

In normal time, GMT -4 does correspond to St_Johns, but during daylight savings it is EDT.

Maybe Bias should be used instead of ActiveTimeBias, that would set you to America/Montreal (GMT=-5)

Wubi rev503 should have fixed the issue, could you please test that and report here?

Note that it requiries a new daily desktop 8.04.1 ISO.
