Silent installer for Windows XP Service Pack 3.

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.

Instead of calling the Service Pack installer straight from within the WPKG package, we call a batch-file which determines the system-locale and executes the localized service pack installer (as diferent locales won't install). This is the possible source code of that batch-files install-localized-SP3.cmd (You can of course add/delete languages to your needs; see http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx for a complete list) 

@echo off

:detect

   set LANG=NLD

   set LANG=ENU
   goto select

echo installing %SOFTWARE%\ServicePacks\WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-%LANG%.exe /quiet /norestart
%SOFTWARE%\ServicePacks\WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-%LANG%.exe /quiet /norestart
exit /B %ERRORLEVEL%


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>
