Re-installed Windows now Sims 2 dosn't work

I recently did an XP enema and completley re installed windows deleting the old windows installation. I keep my games on a diferent drive because most games pick up fine after doing this and if not I can just do a reinstall from the cd.. Unfortumatley my Sims 2 DVD is damaged (my 2 year old has a facination with the prety coloured disks... ) and I am can't reinstall... I have asked the store for a replacement but they refused...
I used to get away with using one of those images to trick my machine into thinking the disk was in the drive but now (after the windows enema) when I try to start the game it says "Some needed files were corrupted during installation. Please reinstall The Sims 2." but I can't reinstall.....
Am I stuffed or is there a way around this...

My Wife is about to disembowel me for breaking the only game she enjoys, so any help may just save my life... Thanks
