Get a command prompt during an XP install

I discovered this out of desperation today. I was trying to do an in-place Windows XP Pro upgrade, and I kept getting an error. All the work-arounds I found on the web required access to a command prompt. Well, during an XP upgrade, you can access a command prompt by hitting Shift-F10. This only works once setup has reached the GUI phase. I found it documented at Microsoft's Knowledge Base here.
