Windows XP SP3
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)

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.
