Step 2: After adding the USB keyboard try to put on your computer and start your installation. The installation will disable the first one and enable the other. 

Step 3: So try to continue your installation with the enabled keyboard. When you are through with your installation you can reset your computer to any of the keyboard you prefer working with by choice.
