Windows 7 REG ADD and% DATE%

Question

I need to write a date stamp to the registry from a .BAT script. I tried the following examples, but so far no luck ...

reg add hklm\software\test /v datestamp /d %%DATE%% /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f

reg add hklm\software\test /v datestamp /d %DATE% /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f

reg add hklm\software\test /v datestamp /d ^%DATE^% /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f

Can someone tell me how to do this correctly? Thank!

If the date format is already fine, just add quotation marks:

reg add hklm\software\test /v datestamp /d "%DATE%" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /f
