Windows dutch keyboard layout for bootcamp

When you have a Windows bootcamp partition, Apple's bootcamp setup will install a 'Dutch - Apple' keyboard layout. But for some strange reason this layout is not completely correct. The official keyboard layout will make the obvious keys work like the @ sign, but the special "invisible" signs like { and [ will not.

Years ago, Microsoft made a tool called "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator" that still works perfectly for the current Windows releases. After some changes I made an acceptable keyboard layout for my macbook. Feel free to download an use it here.

After the installation the keyboard layout should be called 'Nederlands - Apple - Custom'. If you find any keys missing please respond or contact me and I will adjust the layout.
