I found out that to install a keyboard layout there have just two steps to be done:
- copy the keybard layout dll file to windows system folder (done)
- add a registry key at

CODE |
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layouts\YYY |
As I just install keyboard layout substitutes, the template of the name is:
CODE |
x0000123 |
Where x is a character. For example there already exist two keyboard substitutes - "a0000123","b0000123", I`ve to create a key name "c0000123". Or if there are no keynames, I`ve to create "a0000123". How it`s done in InstallShield?

You would need a custom action to build the proepry name. Windows Installer can't do that out of the box.

Should I do with my own program? I thought that it would be better that the job does the installation file. Can it done with InstallShield?

You can create a custom action (a DLL ideally) that you can call from InstallShield.
