Keyboard without AltGr - now what?

Recently I found myself using temporarily a keyboard without "right Alt" key, also called "AltGr" (graphical Alt). However I needed that to work to enter characters in the locale I am in.
So I thought: is there any hope? SharpKeys to the rescue!

TL;DR

I ended up with single entry in the Windows Registry, with necessary system restart afterwards. Then to my surprise IT JUST WORKED! (TM) 😁

Following is the exported registry data with Scancode Map key:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,38,e0,5d,e0,00,00,00,00
