The method posted by schlaufer above does work as it did with KOTOR 1 but they have changed the setup for KOTOR2. Now you don't need to change the autorun.inf file but you get a disc prompt at the end of the setup. There is no way I've found to disable it as it's part of the setup. There may be a way to disable the disk prompt using a hex editor and changing the setup.inx file. I didn't waste too much time on it. I just changed the text on the disk prompt dialog to say "Setup is complete, click OK to finish". This can be done by extracting the StringTable-0009-English.ips file from the setup cabs, editing it, then repacking it. The text to edit is on line 56, just look for the text you want to change. For other languages you'll need to find the string file for your language. If you don't know how to extract and repack files in Installshield cabs, read this post.

For a cracked setup, just replace the swkotor2.exe on the root of the disc with the cracked file. You should always save a backup of the original file somewhere.
