How to use Date Property in InstallScript

Hi all,
I want to set a string value to the Date property in InstallScript.

string strDate;
strDate = Date;

But this errors out with 'Date not defined'. How to use this?

I am able to do
strDate = INSTALLDIR

so not sure why Date is not working.

Re: How to use Date Property in InstallScript

agshah,
I don't know about the Date property, but this can be used in InstallScript:

    GetSystemInfo( DATE, nResult, strDate );
    GetSystemInfo( TIME, nResult, strTime );
    svDateTime = strDate + " " + strTime;
