Windows Install Date Thingie: I made it!

Oh oh oh oh Staying Alive.jpg
Ever wonder when your copy of Windows was installed?  Me neither.

But, today I was poking around in the registry and stumbled across this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\InstallDate

Which is a dword value holding the number of seconds since that fateful day you reinstalled windows last.

So naturally I had to write a little applet to pull the value and display it in an easy-to-read format.  As a bonus, you get a real-time update, for those of us with compulsive disorders.

Please download your copy today, and report back the oldest living Windows installation.  The winner will get a hearty thumbs-up and a stern reminder to knock-on-wood.

Thanks,
Ralf
