Windows Install Date Thingie: I made it!

<< < (2/16) > >>

mouser:
fun  :Thmbsup:

cranioscopical:
Neat toy, Ralf!

On the machine I'm at right now, 2 years, 7 months etc.

nite_monkey:
if you want to get the install date and the current running time, then open a command prompt, and type in systeminfo

Ralf Maximus:
Actually, systeminfo|find /i "install date" is nicer.

And in my original post above, I incorrectly described what's stored in the InstallDate key.  It's actually an offset (in seconds) from midnight on 1/1/1970.  My app reports the value correctly; I just described it wrong.

And I have a terrifyingly old Windows machine here (my mailserver) that I've run the thingie on... I'll post its results after awhile and see how many people believe it.  :-)

nudone:
could it be modified to include how long the machine has been running?

i.e. without being rebooted.
