Proposed Error 0x8007F0F4 when trying to install update KB2686509

    Hello:

    I have tried several times to install the recent security update KB2686509. Each time it fails with error 0x8007F0F4. Fixes that other people have reported online have not worked for me. For example, there is no file on my system called "faultykeyboard.log". I also do not have a registry key named "Scancode Map" that I can delete. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Richard Koett.

    Thank you for your reply, but the solutions you linked to are only applicable if either (a) a file exists called faultykeyboard.log, or (b) a registry key exists called "Scancode Map". As I mentioned in my original post, neither of these conditions apply in my case and the corresponding instructions cannot be carried out on my computer.

    Other suggestions?

    Can you dump out your keyboard layout and keyboard layouts registries and email them to susan-at-msmvps.com?  You have the one last root cause I'm not sure of yet.

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

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\Scancode Map
    and
    HKLM\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 Scancode Map if exists

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

    Hope I help someone with this script.

    Regards
    Christian

    We had the same problem on windows2003 machines. In your case we had a key"IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout" under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout.

    Deleting that setting allowed the update KB2686509 to install correctly. After reboot we imported the key again.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Christian:

    I ran your script, but the output ends with:

    "NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE - NO KNOWN ERRORS FOUND"

    Thanks again,
    Richard.

    Hi

    I have the same issue but have nothing to delete in Keyboard layouts as suggested by Christian.

    I do have a faultykeyboard log with the following  DLL's:

    kbd101.dll
    kbd101a.dll

    I am unable to find these anywhere on the OS and when when exporting the Keyboards Layouts from the registry the dll's above are not in there?

    Can anyone help?

    Chris

    "NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE - NO KNOWN ERRORS FOUND"

    For those who retrieves this message before May 19th and KB2686509 still doesn't install. I made some changes to the script:

    1. Entries in key HKLM\SYS\CCS\Ctrl\Keyboard Layout must not exists, only subkeys

    The script deletes every entry (i.e. Scancode Map or 'IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout'). Please reregister the backup-file.

    2. If there is a kbdxxx.dll registered in a subkey under HKLM\SYS\CCS\Ctrl\Keyboard Layouts and this file has no version information, the update crashes. So additional to file exists I proof the versioning and just in case delete the registry key.

    Further informations can be found under http://www.vivus.net/dl/readme.txt

    Thank you Christian for the help. I have correctly installed the KB2686509 update!

    Can't say that I have had that pleasure, yet.

    It would be nice if Microsoft just fixed the problem instead of expecting the user community to do it for them.  C'mon Bill, spend a little of your millions on those of us who made you so rich.

    If anyone else has a fix for this problem that REALLY WORKS and doesn't require a degree in advanced doublespeak, please let me know.

    What you see is what you are going to get.  Bill doesn't work for Microsoft.  Call into 1-800-Microsoft ask for a support incident as it's a security patch.

    Did you upgrade from Windows 98?  Did you disable a key on your keyboard?

    Did you look at those three links posted above?  Do you have a log file called faultykeyboard.log and if so, what's in it?

    We need to know what nuance you are hitting before we can help.

    In my case, this problem is yet to be resolved. I've had Microsoft technicians work remotely on the affected computer, and I've had a case open with Microsoft since 15/05/2012. The latest response I received was on 31/05/2012 stating:

    "I was going through this case and I thought of updating you that I had checked with our seniors on the progress of the fix for the issue. They stated that they have already involved the development team and are closely working with them towards getting a fix ready, however there is no estimated time they can provide by when that will be ready. We have the ticket still open and as soon as we have an update from the seniors we will cascade it to you. I sincerely apologize the inconvenience cause and we appreciate all your patience on this one".

    In other words, there are cases that are not covered by the solutions described above, and no fix is yet available for such cases.

    :(

    Thanks. After quite of bit of tinkering with my keyboards and with the registry myself to no avail, your little patch made a wonder! After many months of desperate attempts, the KB is now installed! :-)

    Hi Richard (and anyone else here!!),I run the WSUS server at a school of only around 700 computers. Some Win 7, some XPSP3.

    ALL of the Win XP computers would not install this update.

    As mentioned below, this was to do with a keyboard mapping problem...I.E. some keys disabled, such as the Windows Key.

    I eventually found that removing the registry entry for the mapping, installing the update and then putting the reg back worked.

    I have included here a .bat file script which will install the KB for you (assuming you fix the file paths within it of course :)

    First script:

    @echo off
cls
echo.
echo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
echo !!! DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW !!!
echo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
echo.
:declaration
set KeyPath=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
set RegFile1=%SystemRoot%\%COMPUTERNAME%-HKLM_KBLayout
set RegFile2=%RegFile1%s.reg
set RegFile1=%RegFile1%.reg
:save1
if exist "%RegFile1%" goto save2
regedit /e "%RegFile1%" "%KeyPath%"
if exist "%RegFile1%" goto save2
if exist "./missing.reg" goto errBackup
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 >.\missing.reg
echo. >>.\missing.reg
echo [%KeyPath%] >>.\missing.reg
regedit /S ".\missing.reg"
goto save1
:save2
if exist "./missing.reg" del /q .\missing.reg
if exist "%RegFile2%" goto createDel
regedit /e "%RegFile2%" "%KeyPath%s"
if exist "%RegFile2%" goto createDel
if exist "./missing.reg" goto errBackup
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 >.\missing.reg
echo. >>.\missing.reg
echo [%KeyPath%s] >>.\missing.reg
regedit /S ".\missing.reg"
goto save2
:createDel
if exist "./missing.reg" del /q .\missing.reg
echo Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 >.\delreg.reg
echo. >>.\delreg.reg
echo [-%KeyPath%] >>.\delreg.reg
echo. >>.\delreg.reg
echo [-%KeyPath%s] >>.\delreg.reg
echo. >>.\delreg.reg
echo [%KeyPath%] >>.\delreg.reg
echo. >>.\delreg.reg
echo [%KeyPath%s] >>.\delreg.reg
echo. >>.\delreg.reg
:deleteRegKeyPaths
regedit /S ".\delreg.reg"
del .\delreg.reg >nul
:waitOnUserForKB2686509
echo %KeyPath%
echo    was saved to %RegFile1% and cleaned
echo.
echo %KeyPath%s
echo    was saved to %RegFile2% and cleaned
echo.
echo Update is installing, please wait...
rem This is where you need to change the file path to 
rem pick up the other bat file to install the KB
start /wait "" "\\4423-DC03\msi\WSUS\install.exe" /quiet /passive /norestart
:reRegKeyPaths
regedit /s "%RegFile1%"
regedit /s "%RegFile2%"
:GoodBye
echo.
echo %KeyPath% restored
echo %KeyPath%s restored
echo.
echo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
echo !!!  REBOOT YOUR SYSTEM NOW  !!!
echo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:cleanUp
set RegFile2=
set RegFile1=
set KeyPath=
pause
shutdown -r -t 60 -c "Rebooting following Windows Update Manual Installation. Save any work left open now!" -f

    I downloaded the KB file from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29804 and called it "install.exe", and it uses the following commands for silent install: "

    /quiet /passive /norestart

    The changes I made to it force the PC to reboot after install (I chose norestart before because the script needs to put the reg keys back in before anything else). Once it has restarted, WSUS should pick it up as being installed.

    Hope this helps, and makes sense!!!! :)

    I want to say I did NOT create this script in the first place, but I have modified it to make it my own and do what I like it to do. Origin:

    Hotfix batch for KB2686509 - V. 1.24
