Updating The Sims 2 and its Expansions

[HEdwards2008]

I've been doing a bit of deep research lately trying to find out what I could do and have gotten no where extremely fast.  I will try to explain to the best of my ability and in detail as to not leave anything out.

I recently took the time to create ISOs of all of my Sims 2 products.  This list includes all of the Expansion Packs and everything.  I've recently converted my 4-CD Sims 2 game to a DVD version and it installs flawlessly.  The problem I am running into is when I attempt to install University or any of the other Expansion or Stuff Packs.  It will get to the point of where it will want to check to see if they are up-to-date and prompt me for the Sims2 DVD.  That is not the issue I am here about.  Is it possible to bypass or completely remove the Update portion of the install process from the Expansion or Stuff sets?  If so, how could this be done?

Here is what I have done thus far:
Within the file structure of "The Sims 2 University" CD is several different folders.  One of them is called AutoRun.  In this folder is a file called autorun.cfg.  This file can be viewed by using Notepad or another popular text editor.  Anyway, the file itself looks like this:

Registry=EA GAMES\The Sims 2 University
Executable=Sims2EP1.exe
AppName=The Sims 2 University

I've bolded the entries above that I believe to be linked to the update feature within the install process.  In theory, you should be able to change the first line of the 3 to reflect a 1 or 0 in order to disable this function from running.  Also, I dug a bit deeper and took a closer look at the commonfile_list.txt located in the main directory of the CD itself.  The file looks like this (keep in mind that mine is edited a bit differently than the original because of creating a single .iso from the 2-CD original product.):

1,1,Support\*.* /s
1,1,eauninstall.exe
1,1,TSBin\Sims2EP1.exe
1,1,TSBin\ijl15.dll
1,1,TSData\Control\control0.dat
1,1,Sims2EP1.ico
1,1,Sims2EP1_uninst.exe
1,1,eauninstall.ico
1,1,TSBin\TS2UPD.exe
1,1,Support\OpenSSL_License.txt
1,1,Support\OpenSSL_License_FR.TXT
1,1,TSData\Control\control1.dat
1,1,TSData\Control\control2.dat
1,1,TSData\Control\control3.dat
1,1,TSData\Control\control4.dat

This file lays out the install path that the installer takes on when installing the game.  There is an entry that I've bolded above that, in theory, could be removed to further disable the updater from running.

I have went as far as to make the changes outlined here including removing the file listed above from the TSBin folder and making the necessary edits to the two documents previously listed.  However, when trying to run the installation from an ISO (which should work) it still comes up either giving an error about the updater not being found or that it is going to check for updates.  Does anyone care to take a stab at this and attempt to find a workaround.
