Date Property
The Date property is the current month, day, and year as a string of literal text in the format MM/DD/YYYY. For example, the date June 22, 2005 can represented as "06/22/2005". The format of the value depends upon the user's locale, and is the format obtained using GetDateFormat with the DATE_SHORTDATE option. The value of this property is set by the Windows Installer and not the package author.
Remarks
Because this is a text string, it cannot be used in conditional expressions.
