Can't delete the unneeded keyboard layout

Thanks for the reply!

I have found another solution. I have added the unneeded layout so that it became visible and appeared in the layout setting list, and then deleted it. It helped!

 

Custom keyboard layout uninstall/duplicating problem

On Windows 10 64 bit amd computer.

A layout made with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator and installed via the setup.exe.

I added a keyboard layout and then made another, not sure how it happened but now whenever I add layout two it adds layout one instead.

I've tried reinstalling layout one and removing it, creating a totally new layout and installing that. I've also tried using regedit to remove the "ghost" entry, but I'm left with layout one referring to my new layout's .dll as it's own and doing nothing
for my keyboard. It also marks layout one's project name as used but is nothing to uninstall in control panel.

It duplicates with every keyboard layout install and the setup.exe for every layout I've made crashes after the first install attempt (but the .msi works). I don't see any matching .dll in system32, and there is no install entry in the control panel. I may
not have the same source file for the original layout (I was experimenting).

How do I uninstall the layout?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\a0030409]
"Layout Text"="United States-(Custom)"
"Layout File"="*******.dll"
"Layout Id"="00c1"
"Layout Product Code"="{*****}"
"Layout Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\*******.dll,-1000"
"Custom Language Name"="English (United States)"

"Custom Language Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\*******.dll,-1100"

The one below has the same Layout Text but the .dll match that of whatever other layout I just installed.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layouts\a0020409]
"Layout Text"="United States-(Custom)"
"Layout File"="********.dll"
"Layout Id"="00c2"
"Layout Product Code"="{***}"
"Layout Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\********.dll,-1000"
"Custom Language Name"="English (United States)"
"Custom Language Display Name"="@%SystemRoot%\\system32\\********.dll,-1100"
