    I have a MacBook Air with swedish keyboard layout and swedish Mac OS X 10.6. I have installed swedish Windows Vista as a guest in Parallels Desktop (Trial version). But I can't type braces, { and }.

    In Mac OS X I can type them by pressing alt+shift+( and alt+shift+). But when I type this in my virtual Windows Vista, nothing happens and sometimes I get something like an american keyboard layout.

    How can I get the correct keyboard layout in Parallels Desktop so I can type braces?

    UPDATE: Keyboard mapping for national-specific layouts may be related, but I don't know where I can get AppleKeyboardInstaller.exe since I don't have a DVD for my MacBook Air. I have tried with the read-only USB-stick but it wasn't readable from Windows.

    I have asked the same question on AskDifferent
