access current date using TEXT FILE CHANGE wizard
hello from a relative noob
is there an easy way to use the TEXT FILE CHANGE wizard to do a string replace of "yyyymmdd" with the current system date?
or do i need to find a bit of InstallScript to work my magic?
thanks - JB

You can choose to replace yyyymmdd with say [TEST]
where TEST would be populated with current date with InstallScript or VBScript.
GetSystemInfo InstallScript function is the way go ahead with MsiSetProperty API call
