This is obsolete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/

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.

Hmm, I did a registry edit a long time ago to disable the left windows key, I'm guessing that may be a factor.

Well, thanks for replying.

The above MS KB article says I could find all entries that reference kbdjpn.dll and kbdkor.dll in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Keyboard Layout

registry path, but on my XP there is no such thing!

The actual registry path is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts

^^^^^^^^^

I'm doing this now, and will report back.

REPORTING BACK:

Finnaly - SUCCESS!

Here is what I did:

At the second and correct place in the system registry I search for KBDKOR.DLL and KBDJPN.DLL

The reference to KBDJPN.DLL was as follows:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\e0200411]

"Ime File"="IMJP9.IME"

"Layout Text"="Microsoft IME Standard 2003"

"Layout File"="kbdjpn.dll"

"Layout Display Name"="Microsoft IME Standard 2003"

And the reference to KBDKOR.DLL was:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\E0200412]

"Ime File"="IMEKR70.IME"

"Layout File"="kbdkor.dll"

"Layout Display Name"="Microsoft IME 2003"

"Layout Text"="Microsoft IME 2003"

If you didn't make out that the above two snippets are actual registry exports - they are.

I exported them as files and then deleted them from the registry to try and run the update and see if it passes.

Now that I know it does - I hope the above info is helpful to someone, so it can be tracked down which update installed keyboard layouts

e0200411

E0200412

Thanks!
