Hi regan1985,

Based on your description, my understanding is the latest SP1 update didnt install with an initial installation of office at the same time. If you wonder to install the SP1 update with the installation of office again? Or now you only wonder to install the SP1 update?

For supposing 1, at first you extracted the latest SP1 update and placed them into the updates folder, this step is correct. But you edited the Config.xml file with adding a syntax in Config.xml file without changing other elements.

<!-- <SetupUpdates CheckForSUpdates="Yes" SUpdateLocation="\\myservershare-***\Apps\APPS\Mircosoft Office 2013 Pro Plus x64\updates" />

In fact, this syntax is useless for installing SP1 updates. This SetupUpdates element is the search path for Setup to use to find Setup customization files (.msp file). And with <!--, this syntax wont be used in config.xml file.

You can refer to this article: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e16af71c-fed4-40da-a886-95e596c3999e#ElementSetupUpdates

For supposing 2, if you only need to deploy the SP1 update, you can get this result by different ways. For example you can use SCCM tool to deploy, or use Startup Script

Now Im confused, why did you edit the config.xml? If you requirement is not only install SP1 update, please tell me and be a bit more precise explain your requirements. Im glad to help and follow up your reply.
