Re: Convert Hex Value to Date from Binary Reg Key

Thanks for that, makes more sense now.

The only thing is that the month is one off. The app (symantec AV) displays
that date as 3/25/2005, but we read that as 2/25/2005 I've checked a number
of servers now and the date is always one off.

I have fixed it in my code by just adding 1 to the month each time, but i'd
still liek to know why it's a month out.

Any ideas?
