ServicePack Level diagnostic tool (SPCheck.exe).

SPCheck.exe is on the XP CD in the \SUPPORT\TOOLS folder in the SUPTOOLS.MSI
package.

To install Windows XP Support Tools, run setup.exe located in the
\support\tools directory on the Windows XP CD.

You can use the SPCheck tool to determine the service pack level of
installed components on computers that are running either Windows NT Server
4.0, Windows 2000 Server, WIndows XP, or Windows Server 2003. The SPCheck
tool generates a report that lists the origin of each file for each
installed component.
