How to find date of SQL Server install

[k108]

Hi,

I see that you can find the date a database was created. However, is there an accurate way to find the date that SQL Server itself was installed?

Thanks

A trick I found is to look at the icons in the Start/Programs menu for the SQL Server. They should have the actual date that SQL was installed on that machine. The icons are created at install not copied so the dates should be accurate.
