Insert Date into Registry
What I am trrying to do is when ever someone runs the EXE I created, I am trying to figure out how to insert the current time and date into the registry when the application was installed?

I thought I could use "WriteRegStr" but I am having problems. Can some please help?

Use deguix's GetLocalTime function for date and time.

Example:

Call GetLocalTime 
Pop $R0 ;Variable (for year) 
Pop $R1 ;Variable (for month) 
Pop $R2 ;Variable (for day) 
Pop $R3 ;Variable (for day of week name) 
Pop $R4 ;Variable (for hour) 
Pop $R5 ;Variable (for minute) 
Pop $R3 ;Variable (for seconds)

WriteRegStr HKLM "Software\MyApp" "InstallDate" "$R2/$R1/$R0, @ $R5:$R4"
