Test for Different Regional Settings

One of my scenario involves testing the app in different time settings (Ex. China, NewZealand, France, India, US etc.).  How can I change the system settings through script.  and execute my tests.

Hello Madhi,





Below, is a sample script demonstrating how to change the local time zone:







function Main()

{

  // Time zones:

  // HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones

  var timezone = "Central Europe Standard Time";

  setTimeZone(timezone);

}





function setTimeZone(timezone)

{

  var WshShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");

  var cmdLine = "RunDLL32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl,,/Z";

  var WshShellExec = WshShell.Exec(cmdLine + timezone);

}
