If your BIOS is configured to recognize legacy USB devices, you may be able to
boot up with the USB keyboard. Have you tried it?

Try a serial port keyboard.. hopefully they're still available. or a
"USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter".

Your real question is, "How can I install Windows without a keyboard?".

Sorry, but I don't know of any other way. Even if you found a workaround method,
how would you interface with the system?

I think it's time for at least a replacement motherboard, or at most a whole new
PC system.

"checked it all" isn't very specific. Have you tried resetting the BIOS? Has
this keyboard and PC been used together before. I worked on a computer who's
port wouldn't allow one of my keyboard's pins to make contact. Another
keyboard with just noticably longer pins(in relation to the shield) worked.
Looking for other mechanical problem is worth a shot. Assuming the M/B isn't
nearing being worthless, soldering the keyboard to it would be a less than
perfect but workable "fix". Good Luck
