date format mm/dd/yyyy

[jgswcm]

Hello,

I would like to display the date of a particular binary that I am installing. I am using "Get File Info" to Retried the "File Date" and I output it to a Compiler Variable [EXE-Date]. I display the Compiler Variable [EXE-Date] in the Custom Wizard Dialog box.

When I test the install, I see that the correct date is extracted and displayed. However, the date is in the formate yyyy/mm/dd. Is there a way to display the date as mm/dd/yyyy? I see that there is a macro DATE@D1, but I'm not sure how to wrap it around the Compiler Variable [Exe-Date] to get the correct output.

Thank you,
Joanne

Joanne,

I have created and uploaded an example project for you:

http://www.lindersoft.com/projects/convert_date.zip

The source code converts a date stored in the [MY_DATE] compiler variable (in form of yyyy/mm/dd) and added to a runtime variable to the date format mm/dd/yyyy.

Does this help?
