13. Congratulations! You now have upgraded to Microsoft Office XP
Professional SP1!
Please confirm by loading any install Office application (relating to
Office XP Pro) and checking the about box. It should state 'SP1' and the
version number should end with '3501'.
14. You may now delete C:\adminupdate and C:\Office. The contents of
C:\Office may be burned to a CD for a direct, possibly keyless (it was for
me but have not tested it on a machine that did not have it installed
previously) Office XP Pro w/ Frontpage SP1 CD Installer. As usual, it will
also be activation-less as well.
