Oracle New Installation after DST

Question

Hello,
I want to install Oracle database 10g R2 on Windows (2K or 2K3). I have the installation CD which I got long before March 10nth 2007(DST 2007). If I install database now what are the patches I need to apply to make it compliant with DST 2007 issues.
Can I download the latest release of Oracle so that no need to worry about any patches.
Please advice.
Thank you,

I would say the "offset weeks" are now over, but I still seem to have problems getting a fresh installation of Oracel 10g (10.2.0.3) to run silently. I have been going through so many documents on the DST changes that I am afraid I may have mixed things up. This is what I do and I would appreciate any help on where I go wrong:
1. Install Windows Server 2003 SP2 (32-bit) in time zone GMT-8.
2. Install Oracle 10.2.0.1 using the -silent option and a response file (no starter database).
3. Install Oracle 10.2.0.3 Patch set using the -silent option and a response file (catupgrd.sql not run since no databases exists).
4. Copy DST V4 timezone files from Oracle 10.2.0.3 Patch 1: 5731535 to Oracle Home.
5. Apply JVM DST update (5865568 - UPDATE TO JVM TIME ZONE CLASSES NEEDED).
6. Use NetCA and DBCA to silently create listener and database.
I am now waiting for the EMAgent to start which it fails to do. The emdb.nohup has the following information:
----- Tue May 1 10:16:25 2007::D:\OHOME1\<HOST>.<DOMAIN>_<INSTANCE>/sysman/config/emd.properties copied to D:\OHOME1\<HOST>.<DOMAIN>_<INSTANCE>/sysman/config/emd.properties.2007-05-01-10-16-25 while updating the property 'agentTZRegion' -----
----- Tue May 1 10:16:25 2007::An agentTZregion of '-08:00' is installed in D:\OHOME1\<HOST>.<DOMAIN>_<INSTANCE>/sysman/config/emd.properties. -----
----- Tue May 1 10:16:26 2007::The agentTZRegion value in D:\OHOME1\<HOST>.<DOMAIN>_<INSTANCE>/sysman/config/emd.properties is not in agreement with what agent thinks it should be.Please verify your environment to make sure that TZ setting has not changed since the last start of the agent.
If you modified the timezone setting in the environment, please stop the agent and exectute 'emctl resetTZ agent' and also execute the script 'mgmt_target.set_agent_tzrgn' to get the value propagated to repository -----
How do I make this step succeed in an automated way? Am I missing any patches or did I just misread how these patches should be applied?
Note: The above steps work perfectly if the machine is in a GMT+1 time zone.
Thanks,
