This is obsolete

I wrote a VB Script to fix two problems while running microsoft security update KB2686509

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard LayoutandHKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts

for those who are no registry freaks.

*Here you can download my little hotfix as ZIP-file.*

What does it do? Nothing magic!

1. Makes a registry backup

2. delete entries in Keyboard Layout

3. checks every keyentry in Keyboard Layouts against existing file in %SystemRoot%\System32

Hope I help someone with this script.

Update 2012/06/03

I have written a batch file too. So you can use this instead the vbs solution.

It's a little bit harder, because the batch file exports the two keys, deletes them, creates blank entries. Then you have to run the KB2686509 again! After doing this do not reboot, press continue in the command window (restoring old entries) and then reboot.

If one of the (bad) keys does not exists, the batch file creates a blank entry, so KB2686509 should work.

Here you can download the batch file http://www.vivus.net/dl/

New instructions OF 6/19/2012

The FIX-IT’s for this KB have been released today for this Security update. They are available for download at : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2686509

To perform steps 1 through 3 in the "Let me fix it myself" section, run Microsoft Fix it 50882. ( http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9812279 )
To perform step 5 in the "Let me fix it myself" section, run Microsoft Fix it 50883. (http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9812280)

========================

Since we’ve figured it out, can you see if any of these solutions fixes you up?

Edit on Sunday 5/13 - I figured out the problem. I had remapped a keyboard key.

If you are hitting this error and do NOT have a faultykeyboard.log file see if you can follow this post and get the patch installed:

KB2686509 - Failure - due to remapping of a key - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/10829.kb2686509-failure-due-to-remapping-of-a-key.aspx

If you upgraded from Windows ME or 98 to XP (you see nothing but .kbd files listed in your faultykeyboard.log file) -- follow this post:

KB2686509 - Failure - due to upgrade from Windows ME or 98 to Windows XP - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki:

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/10876.kb2686509-failure-due-to-upgrade-from-windows-me-or-98-to-windows-xp.aspx

If you have DLLs noted in the faultykeyboard.log file but can't find them on your PC follow this post:

KB2686509 - Failure due to missing DLL files - TechNet Articles - United States (English) - TechNet Wiki:**http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/10880.kb2686509-failure-due-to-missing-dll-files.aspx**

IF NONE OF THESE WORK, email susan-at-msmvps.com and I'll have someone from Microsoft call you back to fix your system.

Hi, a little tip.

I stumbled upon this problem on an XP machine. From the faultykeyboard.log file it appeared there were some keyboard layouts installed and then probably deleted manually or something like that.
1. The layouts were listed in the log file one by one, not at the same time.
2. The second layout was listed without the DLL file, just the name.
3. The FixIt did not work.
4. There were no such subkeys in the registry.
If you have a custom keyboard layout(s) installed, please remove them through the Control Panel before fixing this problem. This way you can be certain you are not dealing with something you need.

The proper way to fix the problem was to delete the numeric keys containing the specified DLL and/or keyboard layout name from the registry. I deleted all occurrences (there are several Control Sets).

You can reinstall your layouts, but please try to find a solution that has a proper install inf file and can be removed through Control panel later.

Hope this helps!
