    hmm
    what a nonsense

    you should first inform about
    - Iso header and all Timestamps inside the iso header
    - Timzone / localtime etc. specifically Timezone calkulation (convert timestamp from TZ-iso to the local TZ of the user)

    :D

    I used a Windows XP Pro_SP3.iso (No Updates) to TEST this program…

    The Windows XP Pro_SP3.iso displays 2008-04-14 dates as SETUP.EXE and WIN51P.SP3 and many more which appear to be the date M$ may have created or released SP3…

    After using “Change ISO-File Date” to reset the .iso Created: / Modified: / Accessed: dates, they were ALL reset to May 6, 2018…

    Note: ALL of the FOLDER dates of this .iso are 2014-11-16

    Then its not original iso from Microsoft!

    If you rip from CD or with cdimage, the current date will be added to the header of the iso.
    But if you downloaded somewhere be careful with the iso.

    Do you have retail or oem version?

    The original iso looks like this one:
    Home Edition dated on: 2008-04-14​

    I've had this Pro XP .iso so long, I don't remember now... I use a VL Prod Key to activate it when I install it in VM or a real PC...
    I'll TEST your program on a W7 or W10 .iso and provide feedback later...

    never change the iso DATA !!!!!!
    you can only change the FILETIME on your HD (SSD or whatever)
    i have not tested your tool, but i bet you make big mistake (coz you calkulate the FILETIME wrong)
    the timestamp from the iso header = Time GMT xxx (TZ-byte)
    get the tempFILETIME = time_ISO-header) +- The timezone-ofset <--- this is GMT +-0 time
    then you can convert to tempFILETIME to c++ ft_FILETIME
    then you can use c++ ft_FILETIME to set the 3 Filetime of the ISO-File (last access, create, modified)

    have you do this in your tool ?
    if yes, i lost my bet

    EDIT:
    each user outside GMT0 see a different time (coz he live in a different TZ / set different PC TZ values)

    hi, first off i dont want to manipulate original iso files. i am aware of this!
    it was a thought for people who slipstreamed updates into iso and want their original dates back. with warnings. nvm. youre right, it's better not to do this.

    dates. i did not the way you described (thanks), maybe in similiar way yes, but the method i use seems to be working. also for dst.

    Timezone tz = &HE4 'west
    for west: result = (&HFF + 1 - tz) / 4 '15min x 4 = 1hour
    for east: result -= tz / 4

    Timespan ts = (255 + 1 - 228) / 4
    ts = 7

    - then created a new date with datestrings in utc
    - added ts to date
    creationtime = date.utc


    note: the tool did not changed the dates again while changing timezone in windows.
