Variable that is set to the current time on the target system when the installation starts, in the format HH:MM:SS (2-digit hour on a 24-hour clock, 2-digit minute, 2-digit second). The time is set according to the local timezone.
Note: Because of the presence of colons (':') in the resulting text string, you cannot safely use the Time variable as part of file, folder, or shortcut paths or names. If you need a time that is safe to use in file, folder, or shortcut paths, you can use the InstallTime variable instead. That variable always returns the time in HHMMSS format.
