Adding Registry Entry for Windows Installer Logging

S

SidBord

In an effort to stop my Windows Installer (Win XP Pro) from
spontaneously trying to install a Roxio program I installed
long ago, I got MS Knowledge Base article 314852 ("How to
Enable Windows Installer Logging in Windows XP").
Regretably they want me to add a new entry to the Registry,
and they seem to have forgotten to tell me what to name it.
The instructions say "Create the following path and keys
in the registry":
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer

Reg_SZ: Logging <-(Is "Logging" the key??)
Value: voicewarmup <-(each letter is an execution option)

I found the place where I'm supposed to add stuff, but it
has a "Name" field that needs to be supplied. The article
didn't mention a name. What I found looks like this:

Name Type Data
(Default) REG_SZ (value not set)
EnableAdminTSRemote REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

Am I supposed to enter something like this as the 3rd entry:
Logging ?? REG_SZ voicewarmup

Sid, you are on the right track. . When you
click on New>select String Value. Use Logging for the name and
voicewarmup for the Value

REg_SZ is a type of value. Having got to Installer, highlight it and
use Edit - New - String value. Call it Logging then double click that
in the right pane to enter the value data specified
