Silent installer for Windows XP Service Pack 3 (Italian version in this case).

Checks uninstall information and registry key "CSDVersion" so that it will not try to install on a machine with SP3 factory preinstalled, which typically does not show "Windows XP Service Pack 3" in the Add/Remove program application.

/d:<path>
/log:<full path>


UninstallString string value in the registry key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Windows XP Service Pack" reports "c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuninst.exe", didn't check if it works as expected.

Spuninst.exe available command line switches are:
