current-dateTime is a function defined in XPath 2.0 so unless you use an 
XSLT 2.0 processor like Saxon 9 or like AltovaXML tools or like Gestalt 
you can't use that function in an XSLT stylesheet.

Microsoft does not have an XSLT 2.0 implementation, MSXML (in the COM 
world) and XslCompiledTransform (in the .NET world) only support XSLT 
and XPath 1.0. Your only chance there to access the current date and/or 
time in a stylesheet is to define a global parameter in your stylesheet 
and set that before you run the transformation.
