How can get the ISO format date placed into an environment variable regardless of regional settings? Answers to related questions here suggest this will require a special .exe, so a source of that would be appreciated.

See this post. Accepted answer suggests a way to get ISO format date:

If you want the date independently of the region day/month order, you can use "WMIC os GET LocalDateTime" as a source, since it's in ISO order:

@echo off
for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2 delims==" %%i in (`wmic os get LocalDateTime /VALUE 2^>NUL`) do if '.%%i.'=='.LocalDateTime.' set ldt=%%j
set ldt=%ldt:~0,4%-%ldt:~4,2%-%ldt:~6,2% %ldt:~8,2%:%ldt:~10,2%:%ldt:~12,6%
echo Local date is [%ldt%]

C:>test.cmd

<p>Local date is [2012-06-19 10:23:47.048]</p>

Another way that will return faster than the above example because it doesn't need wmic - it uses CMD variable manipulation only is:

set month=%date:~3,2%
set day=%date:~0,2%
set year=%date:~6,4%
echo %year%-%month%-%day%

Hope this helps
