Hi Ivo,

I have just been testing APT v4.76 with APT_NativeDrivers_5_0_1.exe and as far as I can tell it is working properly!

Found the issue, was a bad mistake on my setting up, didn't have the time zone entered in and a few other basic errors on that page, so basically, if it doesn't have a time zone, it throws that error, may be help full for anyone else that runs into this basic mistake.
