Writing the current date to the registry as binary data

[Andrew Truckle]

I know that the [Registry] section supports writing binary data to registry keys.

This is what I am trying to do:

1. Get the installer to add the install date ass binary data to a registry key (if it doesn't already exist).

2. Then, in my C#.Net app I want to use the Registry.LocalMachine.GerValue(...) routine to obtain that binary data and put it into a DateTime object.

I am just trying to avoid writing a simple string that is easy to edit directly in the registry.

Maybe this is not possible?

It's possible, but you'll have to use some [Code] and the RegWriteBinaryValue function.
