I'm don't really know the problem but I'm pretty sure you can't un/re-install only one EP. Why don't you try to uninstall and re install all of them. In order.

Have you tried getting your disks cleaned? If you frequent a video shop they might even do it for free or for a low price. I have no idea what you mean by back up our sims 2 registry for you to try. What has our game got to do with you installing yours? Try and get them cleaned and try installing them in order, patching each one as you go.

it has alot instead of me installing them all again i can play with the registry but oh well
i deleted all the last ones i bought ep8 ep9 sp1 ep7 sp6 except double deluxe and the other ones i cant re-install
i downloaded all the latest updates for all my other EPs and SPs
then i installed ep8 ep9 sp1 ep7 sp6 in order and with updating each one
and IT WORKS NOW I HAVE EVERY EP AND SP FOR THE SIMS 2 !!! OMG IM SO HAPPY
well its just like re-installing them all again but in a easier way

In future, don't use the Launcher. It's the Launcher which uninstalls EPs at random.
