InstallDate

Hello,

I need to write a VBS to extract and convert the InstallDate value from:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion

This Date is in HEX like (3ec0479d). The Decimal value would be
(1052788637) this is the number of seconds since 12:00am January 1, 1970.

I know how to retrieve the value but converting it is the problem I'm
having. Please Help!!!

Thanks

sHexNum = "3ec0479d"
WScript.Echo Eval("&H" & sHexNum)

Oh, and if you want it converted to a date:

sHexNum = "3ec0479d"
WScript.Echo DateAdd("s", Eval("&H" & sHexNum), "1-Jan-70 12:00am")

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Now that I am able to convert the number to
decimal, how is it converted to a Date.

It will probably be the number of seconds, ignoring leap seconds, since
1970-01-01 00:00:00 GMT - note the GMT.
