Is there a way to determine days between with the search below?

convert ctime(LastScanDate)|eval tnow = now() | convert ctime(tnow)|eval NoOfDays=(now()-Install)/(3600*24)

If your Install value is in epoch already, this will give you number of day between today and date represented by install.

.....| eval NoOfDays=(relative_time(now(),"@d")-relative_time(Install,"@d"))/86400

If it's not epoch already, convert it to epoch

.....| eval NoOfDays=(relative_time(now(),"@d")-relative_time(strptime(Install,"<<TIMEFORMATHERE>>"),"@d"))/86400

Where, TIMEFORMATHERE is the exact time format of the date in the field Install. See this for more details on the format https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.5.2/SearchReference/Commontimeformatvariables
