Update installation time

I am trying to set the auto installation time to 3:36am. Is it possible to
do that
because the allowable value in the registry 'ScheduledInstallTime' is only 0
to 23?
Thanks in advanced, sincerely

Oh, second question, if I manually install with an old patch, what will
happen? Will the update.exe or hotfix.exe will check the validity of patch
first or I will have to reinstall the new patch after finding it out?

Only whole hours are possible I think.

An older hotfix will never downgrade what a newer hotfix have
already installed.
