SYMPTOMS
When using the Mifcheck utility to check the validity of a Custom MIF you may receive an error message similar to the following:

Time has incorrect format or illegal values, on line number #, token '0'

One example:

Error in file test.mif

Time has incorrect format or illegal values, on line 12, token '0'



WORKAROUND
To avoid this error, edit the Custom MIF and surround the Date/Time value with quotation marks, as in this example: Start Component Name = "Workstation Configuration" Start Group Name = "Installation Information" ID = 1 Class = "Microsoft Corp.|Installation Information|1.0" Start Attribute Name = "Installation Date" ID = 1 Type = Date Storage = Specific Value = "07/01/98 10:30:30"
