A Windows expert I know (thanks again, SB!) claims she found out why she couldn’t get the MS12-034 .NET patch installed on her computer. It kept dying

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!
