Script 1 – Preparing Virtual Machine

First of all we need an operating system in which to install the office suite. So,
our first job will be to set up a virtual machine on VMware Player. This machine
runs on a Windows XP system.

1. Copy the folder WinXPOffice to your computer. This folder has all you
need to run a Virtual Machine with Windows XP on VMWare Player.
2. Run VMWare Player
