You're not following the directions correctly. You skipped step
#2.

Navigate to this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

Look in the right hand pane for a entry named LogLevel.
Double click on that value.
A box should pop up titled "Edit Dword Value".
Within that box there's a Base section. That's what the article
means by "Base pane".
Make sure Hexadecimal is selected.
You can now enter 0000FFFF in the Value data box and click OK.

FYI, I hope you realize that the version of Windows Desktop
Search you're trying to install should only be installed if
you're running Outlook 2007 Beta.

Good luck
