You can use regedit.exe for adding Reg_Sz strings. Also you should post the article ID when asking questions like this for reference.

How Do I Enable Windows Installer Logging?
Windows includes a registry-activated logging services to help diagnose Windows Installer issues. This article describes how to enable this logging service.
Open the registry with Regedt32.exe and create the following path and keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Reg_SZ: Logging
Value: voicewarmup
The letters in the value field can be in any order. Each letter turns on a different logging mode. Each letter's actual function is as follows for MSI version 1.1:
v - Verbose output
o - Out-of-disk-space messages
i - Status messages
c - Initial UI parameters
e - All error messages
w - Non-fatal warnings
a - Start up of actions
r - Action-specific records
m - Out-of-memory or fatal exit information
u - User requests
p - Terminal properties
+ - Append to existing file
! - Flush each line to the log
"*" - Wildcard, log all information except for the v option. To include the v option, specify "/l*v".
Once activated, the log files that are generated may be found in your %TEMP% directory.
---------------------------------------------------
The problem is with the insertion of the "Reg_SZ" and the "Value".
I've inserted the Installer Path >>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
Edit>>AddKey>>Keyname Reg_SZ [Class left MT]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\Reg_SZ
Edit>>Add Value>>Value Name Logging [DataType - Reg_SZ auto loaded]
Data > displays Logging:Reg_SZ: ???
Need some help here as I do not wish to screw up the Registry
many questions relevant to set up, is value a subtree of Reg_SZ etc.?
