Once merged, a service pack cannot be removed from the administrative

To extract a Microsoft Installer Patch (MSP) file from a service pack
1
Download the service pack from the Support site for your product.
2
Review the service pack Readme file for information about patch usage.
3
Open a Windows command prompt and enter the patch file name
followed by the /e switch and a target file name. Here is the general
command format:
<local_drive:>\<patch_name>.exe /e
<local_drive:>\<patch_name>.msp
Here is an example:
ProductSP1.exe /e ./ProductSP1.msp
where ProductSP1.exe is the name of the downloaded patch and
ProductSP1.msp is the name of the extracted file. Using ‘./’ in front of the
extraction file name places the extracted file in the same folder as the
original executable. The “e” command line switch extracts the MSP file
from the executable.
