How can I fake the XP service pack level to an installation program?

My machine has XP service pack 3. The software I am installing expects SP2. Is it possible to lie to the installation routine to get it to continue?

Update:

Yes, I know it's crap. I still have to get it installed.

    SP3 is backwards compatible. If the software refuses to install, it's crap.
