   Doesn’t work for me.

   Error: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value

   This system has an older IBM click-key keyboard without “Windows” keys.

   This worked for me! Thanks.

   I have CapsLock remapped to a control (ctrl) key on all my machines. The patch install was failing.

   I found I was able to reduce the number of reboots by deleting the registry key and then installing the patch without rebooting. Then I put the ScanCode Map entry back. Finally after all three steps I rebooted.

   Thanks for the solution. Finally I found your hint!
   Had the same issue with installing security update 2681578 for Windows XP. I had long time ago re-programmed the caps lock key to not interfere with my typing.
   Your solution worked. However not from the command line, but I deleted the Scanning Map key using regedit (after backing up the registry, of course …) . Afterwards the installation went through.
   Ouff!
