Registry Value for Date

[gocush]

I am using VB 6.0 with Visual Studio Installer to install an Application.
During the Installation I have the option of writing Keys/Values to the Registry.

It appears that Value types are

a. String
b. Binary
c. DWORD (integer)

I want to enter a Registry value that represents the Current Date (Date of Installation).
How do I do it?

You will need to store the Date value as a String type in the Registry; there are no Registry objects that directly store a date.

You don't have to store the date as a string, although you certainly may. You may also encode it in a binary format and store the raw bytes. This requires more effort to code, but makes it more difficult for your users to change the date.
