Hello
I write my self installer MSIBuilder and I implement a file (also registry and ini file ) search with AppSearch ,Signature and DrLocator tables .
Problem is that If I want to make a search for file , based on creation file time , result is wrong .
If I set MaxDate never I get a result.
If I set MinDate i allways find the file .
Thanks in advance!

Maybe you're not using the correct format?

I attached a sample : one test package and a file(date.txt) created today.
I want to search the file named date.txt (must be on root or in directories of root )who is created before 1/1/2004
(=12321 in MS-DOS format)
PS.From MSDN:
The entries in the MinDate and MaxDate columns must be in the MS-DOS® date format, as shown in the following table.
Bits Contents
0-4 Day of the month (1-31)
5-8 Month (1 = January, 2 = February, and so on)
9-15 Year offset from 1980 (add 1980 to get actual year)

There's indeed a documentation error in MSI help. This article will show you how to do it right:
