Bypassing DS's Check for Updates?

Is there a way to bypass DS's check for updates? The game isn't updated any more, and if I accidentally click "yes," I'll have to uninstall and reinstall everything.

Assuming you're using some variant of Windows: Right-click on the DS icon on the Start Menu and select "Properties." Under "Target," change "Installblast.exe" to "engine.exe." You'll have to repeat this step for the icon on the desktop as well, but after that launching the game from either spot should just start DS without checking for updates.

What Grendel_Man said, also I think if you accidentally update, you can still run engine.exe fine.
