It's a time zone thing. Change the hour to something else. See how it affects the next time the job is to be run. You should quickly see how many hours offset the setting is. Find the right hour to put in there, and you're good.

i just re-up'd the most recent download and the Existing Install/Uninstall Code is 1.0.0 in the Product Manager... has the initial file not been upgraded to reflect 1.0.1 changes yet or does the install/uninstall code part not matter?

The install code hasn't changed, so it is still 1.0.0.

You only set the hour, not the minute, so it would run every minute for the entire hour.

(isn't hour 23 a bit late ? their birthday is almost over at 11pm in the evening !).
