Office 2013 OCT

I have been stuggling with OCT for about 5 days now.  I think I finally have the Config.xml working correctly.  It's finally installing Lync.  But now XML Handler is not working.  Using OCT I am installing everything except Acess, Publisher, and the Office Download Control under Shared features.  After the install, I get file association error attempting to open the config.xml file.  Same error when I right click on the Config file and try to open it using the XML Handler.  Any ideas

Here is my Config.xml file:

<Configuration Product="ProPlus">

 <!-- <Display Level="full" CompletionNotice="yes" SuppressModal="no" AcceptEula="no" /> -->
 
 <!-- <Logging Type="standard" Path="%temp%" Template="Microsoft Office Professional Plus Setup(*).txt" /> -->

 <!-- <PIDKEY Value="XXX" /> -->

 <!-- <USERNAME Value="Customer" /> -->
 
 <!-- <COMPANYNAME Value="MyCompany" /> -->
 
 <!-- <INSTALLLOCATION Value="%programfiles%\Microsoft Office" /> -->
 
 <!-- <LIS CACHEACTION="CacheOnly" /> -->
 
 <!-- <SOURCELIST="\\server1\ share\Office15;\\server2\share\Office15" /> -->
 
 <!-- <DistributionPoint Location="\\server\share\Office15" /> -->

 <!-- <OptionState Id="LyncCoreFiles" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

 <!-- <OptionState Id="ExcelAddInPowerMapFiles" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

 <!-- <OptionState Id="ExcelAddInPowerPivotFiles" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->

 <!-- <OptionState Id="OptionID" State="absent" Children="force" /> -->
 
 <!-- <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="Never" /> -->

 

 <!-- <Setting Id="AUTO_ACTIVATE" Value="1" /> -->

 <!-- <Command Path="msiexec.exe" Args="/i \\server\share\my.msi" QuietArg="/q" ChainPosition="after" Execute="install" /> -->

</Configuration>

Thank you for responding.  I removed the <!-- and now it doesn't run at all.  I get an error - The configuration file is not valid.  Make sure it's formatted correctly.  Hear is my new config.xml file

Ok.  I installed Office 2013 using the default config.xml file.  I still have file association error.  The error is - This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.  Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel..

The file I was attempting to open was the config.xml file.  I should also note.  The PC i'm installing this on previously had Office 2007.  In the OCT I have it set to uninstall all older versions of Office
