    How to determine MicroStation's installation date
     
    With thanks to Phil Chouinard for sharing this tip on the disucssion groups.

    To determine the installation date of MicroStation, or any other product, try this:

    Start > Run > Regedit > OK
    From the Registry Editor dialog, highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Expand this selection and locate Software\Bentley\MicroStation
    Isolate your particular version and look at the InstallDate string.


    From Microsoft Help: "The Microsoft Registry Editor enables you to view, search for, and change settings in your system registry, which contains information about how your computer runs. Although you can use Registry Editor to modify the registry, doing so is not recommended, as making incorrect changes can damage your system."
