using variables for registry values?

[kidmizere]

Is it possible to substitue a variable as a registry value? I would like to create a reg value for install date that uses the current date as the value. Is this possible thru the interface of ai or should i use an outside batch file that executes after installation as a custom action?

You can put any Windows Installer Property as a registry value. We don't have a nice UI for it yet, but the syntax [Valid Property] will get substituted at install time with that property's value.

A complete list of Windows Installer properties can be found at

Now that being said, I don't know if there is any property with the install date. In that case, you should use the custom action.
