| Apr 13, 2017 at 1:49 | comment | added | Michael Z. | I'm also using a keyboard hook for reasons other than key-logging. I imagine this is happening quite often and to be honest, the fact that a keyboard hook is not detected scares me. This has to make someone wonder how many apps are in fact using keyboard hooks. In my opinion, a keylogger is the worst of malicious software. It is a major violation of privacy. My question is, how would I even detect if an app has a keyboard hook? | |

InstallShield was a complete nightmare with COM registration, and using WiX was going to be a project of its own; InnoSetup made everything relatively simple, and we had an installer that worked for both 32-bit and 64-bit environment and VBA hosts. | |
