Doesn't work for me - 'systeminfo' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Copy and paste from my first post the command into the cmd window in case a space may have been missed.
Or change the directory to C = cd c:\ and then try.

Nope, doesn't work
Hmmmm, weird.
Another way to determine the system install time and date is with SIW.
Under the first option - Operating System - Installation Time.

Yup, I've got SIW and found it in that (18/9/07 17:22). Dunno why it doesn't like that systeminfo command

You're not alone JD, mine wouldn't have it either.

Don't work for me either. Could it be, that systeminfo command only works on XP Pro?
I checked with aida32 and mine is installed 18.5.2004. Yes, i haven't reinstalled or repair installed XP, since i got this computer. This computer was build in a computer shop, from where i also bought all the components. Before this one i got used Pentium II, with Windows 98SE. I got that computer about an year. It was my first "decent" computer, with internet connection. I reinstalled that 98SE several times. It was very unreliable and unstable...
XP Pro here.
Googled around a bit and it seems it's not available in XP Home!
Sorry to all the home users.
OH well, you can always right click the windows folder and find the date in properties.

I entered this: find /i "install date"
DOS went off looking for it, for about an hour...find is a valid command, but DOS never did find the date.
used SIW, found it. SIW is pretty remarkable.
Anyway, thanks for the info.
