Still to be investigated which is the best command line switches combination. Available command line switches are:
/help /quiet /passive /norestart /forcerestart /warnrestart[:<seconds>] /promptrestart /overwriteoem /nobackup /forceappsclose /integrate:<full path> /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:
/help /quiet /passive /norestart /forcerestart /warnrestart[:<seconds>] /promptrestart /forceappsclose /log:<full path>
