Description

Use this code to convert the dword you get in GetFileTime:

The Script

GetFileTime "$INSTDIR\file.txt" $1 $0
System::Int64Op $1 * 0x100000000
Pop $1
System::Int64Op $1 + $0
Pop $0
System::Call "*(&i2, &i2, &i2, &i2, &i2, &i2, &i2, &i2)p.r1"
System::Call "Kernel32::FileTimeToSystemTime(*l r0, p r1)"
System::Call "Kernel32::GetDateFormat(i 0, i 0, p r1, t 'dd/MM/yy', t .r0, i ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN})"
System::Free $1
DetailPrint $0 # print results

(coded by Kichik)

You should use $1 and $0 because that's what System::Call uses internally.

Here's the list of variables. This example uses "dd/MM/yy".
