For those havin' problems with aqua DLC. First off: install base game and AFRICA DLC, next Aqua should install without just trying to uninstall it all or returning errors. Next one is Endangered species and the last one are the Extinct ones. Final thing to do is copying crack to the game folder, but don't do it before installing DLC's, otherwise Aqua will uninstall all of it as it's probably scripted to work only with base+Africa as otherwise it either uninstalls the whole game or returns 1268. Have fun.
Works Great, i made 5 virtual disks using powerISO and linked each iso to one drive. TIP: make a custom folder for the instalation that you call ZooTycoon2 or whatever. Put a different folder inside called ISO and put the iso's in there before creating the virtual disks. The game won't run without the last disk active and you can't delete the iso's when active, you can however disconnect all iso's from the players except the last ISO (CD5). The game will still run then. I installed one after another as administrator (because i wanted to instal the game on my HDD). I've used Setup.exe but the last wouldn't download with that file, So i installed it with "autorun.exe". No need for cracks it just worked for me. the cracks keep telling i am missing files. Now if you want to start up the game make sure you go to the folder where the game is downloaded and click the file that says "zt.exe" you can make a shortcut for it if you want to because the automatic created shortcut does not work for me. hope this helps for you as well!
The last 3CD collection are corrupted according to my ISO viewer, First two CDs worked. Can you help me solve this problem, or is there anybody who solved this problem ?
Is the file size less than 5 MB? Did you get the file directly, or have you used an exe? If the answer to any of the questions is yes, you downloaded an ad. Please try downloading the files again and make sure you get the correct ones.
The exe downloads but when i Start it... it asks me to accept malware... which I decline... but then the exe stops because "the required application is not available at his time" Please help DX
Tried downloading the Disc 2 after successfully installing disc 1 but when ever i try the African Adventure (disc 2) setup it forces me to uninstall all Zoo Tycoon data
Installation Tips for Ya'll: I'm using Windows 8.1 Use Virtual Clone drive to mount the disks, especially since there are 3 different file types to mount. (Hence why people are struggling with the last 3 disks.) Right click on each and select "mount with virtual clone drive." (If this doesn't appear, right click on the file and click 'open with' and then select virtual clone drive.) Wait. A popup should appear asking what you want to do, click run autorun/install. If it doesn't appear, go to "my computer" and double click on the disk file that should appear there after being mounted. On Disk 4 (Marine Mania) redistributable C++ 2005 will be installed. It will likely corrupt your existing version on Windows 8/10 rendering the last disk unable to be installed- but the game playable up to marine mania if it didn't throw errors during the other disks. What worked FLAWLESSLY for me was running Windows XP SP3 in Virtualbox and mounting the disks with virtual clone drive there. ;) Not a single problem!
I managed to install all of the discs using your method without any problems but I just need to know if I need to use any of the crack files? There is a crack file included with African Adventures, Endangered Species and Extinct Animals respectively and all of them are just called zt.exe wich has to mean that I propably have to replace the file of the same name that is located in the ZT2 install folder and that really confuses me because it doesn't make any sense to replace the same file multiple times so wich one do I pick? Or can I just ignore them completely?
the game is working fine for me. I downloaded from MegaUP and installed all 5 expansions using Daemon Tools lite. I mounted, installed, and copied the crack for each of the of the 5 images. I followed the steps mentioned in one of the below comments Just Asking
i'm having problems installing the setup on disk 2, it says 1628:failed to complete installation. also disk 3,4,5 won't mount EDIT: it seems disk 3-5 is corrupted
When I run the last Zoo tycoon Extinct Edition it says I need to insert Disk for Extinct edition. is there any option so that I will never run disk in ISO before I play?
-win+(R)/Run -regedit -ctrl+F -African Adventure -delete -Find next -delete -Find next -delete -Find next -delete basically just keep searching and delete all african adventure files -copy the whole folder in the disc to desktop and run the setup on desktop
For anyone who cant install this, first install daemon tools (idk if other iso mounter app works or not) then mount and install disk 1. then mount the disk 2 for disk 2, first install ISScript11 then run the setup.exe (not the autorun) then copy the crack and mount the disk 3 for disk 3,4, and 5. i dont have any problem, just run the autorun and done. dont forget to install disk 1 first, then 2, 3, 4, and 5. the install order seems important for zt2. at least this step work for me, i hope its work for you too :) ps : sorry for my broken english
i tried downloading. only disk 1 and 3 works for me. i tried what you did but didnt work.. there is no setup.exe. and when i try installing it says 1628: failed to complete installation.. :(((((
Please help, I have downloaded the mega link file as a .rar and I extracted the main/overall file to my desktop, mounted cd 1 and 2 fine but 3-5 say the disc image file is corrupted. They're all .iso files, also no password was required to extract unless I misread it and would need the password later on past the cd mounting. Please and thank you for your help!
Marine Mania won't work... :( when I run setup it wants to uninstall Zoo Tycoon 2 game (and it's stucked in loop). I treid several ways to fix it (i.e. reinstall ZT2 and all EX a lot of times or run MM setup by lots of programs) but I failed. Can anyone re-upload MM or anyone have an information what can I do with this problem?
Im having some problems. I was able to install all the iso files and the game worked perfectly. But that was when I had still kept the last iso file mounted. After unmounting, the game keeps telling me to insert the disc for the extinct species. Is there perhaps a step I might've missed?
So I can run african adventure just fine up until I unmount the iso file. Then it keeps telling me to insert the disk. are there any steps I may have missed?
I know this an old thread but maybe someone can help. I used daemon to mount the marine bin file but can’t seem to get the second bin file to work... any tips?
What you gotta do, is just rename it from a ".bin" file to ".iso", this can be done by clicking rename, then selecting "bin" then typing in instead "iso". your welcome fam
When I click rename, it only will let me rename the file name itself (zoo Tycoon CD 4 ) not change the bin to iso. When I try to open it with daemon tools it gives me an unable to access image file message :/. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I would like to mod the game but the way to do it doesn't work with the files I get from this. Anyone know how to mod this when it's downloaded from here? (The base game itself works perfectly, I just don't know how to mod)
They all installed perfectly, but when I tried Extinct Animals it said to insert the disc over and over, and when I try and uninstall it, it uninstalls everything (ugh, I have to keep re-installing the entire game),. I can't find any ISO, or bin to convert!
The Dino Danger pack became obsolete when they released Extinct Animals. Trying to run it will cause problems when trying to load the models. And the models are far uglier than the EA ones anyway
can anyone tell me how to install this game back after uninstall. I know that u use the regedit program to delete the registries but all of it has been done and it still wont install for me. this is just frustrating to me cuz i want to play this game again
They all install fine, after I converted the bin to iso with magiciso. I'm using win7. If it's not working, try running as admin and also in xp compatibility mode (open mounted disk, right click install exe, properties, compatibility). That worked for me. I also went to aurora designs' website and downloaded all the HD retextures of the game. It really makes it look much nicer. http://www.auroradesigns.org/site/downloads/
Can confirm google drive is working. Honestly, that's always my go to besides mega. Typically works. Edit: it didn't work on my system. I've got a midtier windows 10 alienware gaming desktop. As someone else said, this is -not- the ultimate collection version of the game. Deamon tools will be needed as there are different formats of disc images used. Each the game and the dlcs install separately. I suggest avoiding this download and checking out another of the popular sites. Pirates can be found everywhere.
I can't get very far in the setup for the original game because it says I need the disc to install it, but I can't find an iso or anything in the zoo tycoon 2 folder. Please help, because I really want to play this game.
I think it might be worth correcting, this must not be "Ultimate Collection", which has a different menu and exe icon, because I tried the no cd exe for it and it does NOT work This is like the base game with all expansions purchased seperately I guess, as just using the no cd crack for the latest expasion (extinct animals) does launch
okay I wouldn't remember at this point, but just letting it be known this is not the ultimate collection version, as it says. i guess splitting hairs as this is still simply ZT2 with all expansions, but there is a difference.
Thank you for reminding me to come back and say something about it too; it didn't work on my system. I've got a midtier alienware gaming desktop. And yeah, there is a huge difference. I'd much rather have the ultimate collection version.
Zoo Tycoon 2: Exinct Animals cannot install running Setup.exe. Type autorun.exe, or double-click autorun.exe on the game CD. Can someone please help me with this ?
Endangerd Species just says invalid file format. I tried it as the "..cue" it came as, I tried changing it to ".cue". I tried someone's suggestion of changing the .bin to .iso, I changed the .cue to .iso, I tried changing the .bin to a .cue. I tried using three different programs to mount each attempt. Nothing is working and I really need the elevated paths from the endangered species pack. All the other files work including the Extinct Animals .cue So I'm at a loss to explain the issue. If the admin could re upload the endangered species pack as a different format or making sure the file itself isn't corrupted it would be appreciated by a lot of people from the looks of a few comments here.
Ok I've tried everything I could think of to make this work for me. Followed all the steps (installed them in the order asked of me), changed the endangered animals thing to ISO and tried it without, mounted the proper disks to play- still nothing. Bit frustrating. If there is a better way you guys could make this playable it would be much appreciated.
