How do I find the file creation date to the bat?

Tell me how you can find out the date the file was created in BAT. We have a variable for %%~ti, but it only indicates the file's modification date. And how do you know it is the date the file was created?

At least these three options exist, which are all scriptable.

There can be limitations depending on the OS version, and the language, and characters being used.

  • Powershell
  • WMIC
  • VBS script using WSH
