This is how I did it :
My computer/C/Program Files/ElectronicArts/The sims 3/ University/Game/Bin/TS3EP09

You are so right, I have to use the .exe from the latest game I own. Using the base game .exe doesn't work for me either. I right click the executable file from my latest game and make a shortcut on my desk top. Been using this method since the 4th day the game came out and there was launcher issues then. One of the SimGurus posted how to bypass the launcher at that time and that is how I have started my game ever since. :)
