Win11: no ISO code or spellers after keyboard installation

[Trondtr]

Keyboards (fit, rmn, mns, ...) were installed with DM on a new Win 11 machine. DM reported them as "installed".

When trying to activate them via the keyboard installer (either via the down-right menu starting from the iso code or via the control panel), the only available keyboards coming up ("Add a language") are the ones defined by Windows. The Divvun-made keyboards are nowhere to be seen.

As a result of this, the corresponding spellers (fit, rmn, mns, ...) were not visible in MS Word, whereas DM-installed spellers for fao, kal did work in MS Word after I had activated the respective (MS Windows -made) keyboards via the control panel. Without a keyboard fao, kal spellcheckers did not show up in MS word, with the keyboard they did. The languages fit, rmn, mns mever got a keyboard, and their installed spellckecker did not turn up as alternatives.

Discussing with Sjur: There is a way to add them, via the (on Win 11 removed) start menu. The issue was documented, but with a picture of the Win 10 menu. A Note has been added. It looks like this:

The real bug: the ISO code turns up as blank in the keyboard slot on the bottom-right field (in the loop with ENG, FIN, SME, etc. there is now BLANK denoting fit, thus more blanks coming up if the user would need more than one DM keyboard):

Also, the keyboard is presented using the BCP47 tag, not the actual language name.

When installing software I must write in sysadm password. The screen then turns black, but there is a 3-letter code down left indicating keyboard (so you know why your password isn't working). Here, all Divvun keyboards have 3-letter codes, but ad-hoc ones (all Divvun keyboards reported above have Q as the first letter of their language code. still, the keyboard slot in the menu bar (ENG, FIN, etc.) is still empty.
