Zoo Tycoon 2

it works but i have no sounds other that the intro scenes

I have installed this version before and it worked out fine, but after installing some mods the game kept crashing and I couldn't figure out which mods caused the problem so I uninstalled it. After that, I installed the game again with the same files and it worked out just fine! But for some reason the disc files in "My Pc" weren't going away so I ejected them manually. After that, the game never started again and now I can't even install it because every time I try to open the Disc files with the WinCDEmu, it does nothing. I tried over and over and it just does not open the files, but it doesn't show an error message or anything. The text box just disappears as if the file had opened.

Can anybody help? :(

how do i install mods? i've tried many ways, even putting extra z's and putting them in the "files" folder but nothing works? please help!

PUFFER_791 I beg of you, please, post a video of you showing install. I for the life of me cannot figure it out.

To download:
1. Mount CD1, CD2, and CD3 with WinCDEmu (https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/download/). You dont have to select a certain letter drive just click "OK"
2. Make a new folder in either the D: or C: drives (they're your personal drives you see upon opening file manager). Then go to the mounted CD1 to copy everything and paste it to the newly made zt2 folder
3. Don't get too excited! Pressing all game launchers don't work yet. You will have to go inside of the CD2 mount and go inside the "files" folder, copy the "x302.000.z2f" file and paste it to the "files" folder inside your newly made folder. Do the exact with the mounted CD3 (put it in the "files folder inside the newly made zt2 folder)
4. Your game is ready to be opened!

To download mods:

1. Download from either the zt2 roundtable or ZT2 download library wiki (fandom)
2. Put it in the "files" folder inside your zt2 folder where you pasted the cd1 mount

is there any way to add mods ? i tried making a copy of the original folder so that i have 2 folders , one for mods and one for the original games but i found out that the two files are linked to the same saves so if i add a mod to one of them the other will also be affected , i didnt find a solution to this rather than just putting the mods in the original folder , which also didnt work cause i keep getting there is not enough space in the folder even tho there is 100gb of space free on my pc

Is there some sort of file missing or something? I downloaded both folders as well as the WinCDEmu thing and nothing is working. I extracted the main ZT2 file, opened the CD1 folder like others have said, but when I right click the bin file and hit Open With WinCDEmu, it opens the WinCDEmu installer. I've installed it at least 4 times now but I can't tell if it's actually installing or not. If I go into programs x86 and open the WinCDEmu folder, I can't tell which file is the actual program. But every time I try to use the first ZT2 bin file, it brings me back to the Emu installer, tells me it's installed, and I'm stuck in this loop now for over an hour. What am I missing?

I love Zoo Tycoon 2, My favourite animal is the white rhinoceros, But i hope it has a blue whale, I cannot wait to see that one

my browser keeps marking the download as unsafe, how do i go about bypassing that?

I love this game a lot, I love elephants, giraffes, rhinos, & killer whales, But i hope this game has a humpback whale, They're amazing, & gigantic, & REALLY AWESOME

used to play this game as a kid and love the memories it brings back to play again as an sdult

I love all the animals so much. The best one is the black rhinoceros

If you're having trouble getting the ISO burner to open the 2nd and 3rd discs, (For some reason Daemon Tools wouldn't let me do it directly) try double-clicking Disc 2 and Disc 3 straight from the folders they were extracted in to. Once I did this DT picked it up and the process continued, with game installing fine.
Just had the copy over the NOCD exe and I was in.

Guys it seems I have a problem with the resolution, I can't seem to get it take up 100% of my screen for some reason anyone have a fix?

I got the game running but for some reason there's no music in game

I'm trying to follow these instructions (mounting on WinCDEmu, doing the autorun, making sure it's extracted), but then I run into a problem.

I try the autorun of Disc 1, and instead of INSTALLING it (despite that clearly being listed as an option), it tries to UNINSTALL it, and it gives me an 1316 Error that says, "The specified account already exists." when it completes the uninstallation. This is a major problem, because I didn't have this problem the last time I did this. Also, replacing or renaming the zt.exe with the one from NOCD one is impossible because it says that I don't have any disc space to do so and deleting it isn't possible either.

I really don't want to resort to the Amazon download again, because that had a problem with crashing often (meaning that completing the African Adventure scenario and the Giant Panda scenarios crashed my computer).

Hello! I've successfully installed the game, including the NOCD fix. However, I keep getting the graphics renderer error and the game won't launch - I've tried running it in compatibility mode, checking driver updates (windows update says everything is updated!) but I can't find anything that works! Is this a windows 11 issue? Anyone managed to sovle this? ):

ive spent like three hours following the guides listed down here and nothing is working could someone who managed to get this game running please make a video for us visual learners lol

I've had so much trouble trying to install the game, I'm missing at least 4 dlls I've followed all the instructions on Limewire to no avail, any other ideas?

MSS32.dll
BINKW32.dll
IPWORKS5.dll

They are not in my recycling bin have tried recuva
I do have pending installs on my PC, that's a whole other thing (they're stuck), WIN 10 on an old & cheap machine

wow this game is so amazing

having trouble with the installer. Error says it failed to generate a product ID

I can't overwrite the zt.exe file with the no-CD crack either. Says theres not enough space on ZT2UCD1. I feel like I'm so close to figuring it out.... please help lol

This is the best game

I used PowerISO to install the game on my Windows 11 computer. The installation was a success, but after applying the no CD exe, the game doesn't launch. However, when I transferred the whole game directory to my older Windows 10 computer (no installation involved), it launches and surprisingly works. Is the game still compatible with Windows 11? I don't know if it is something to do with the temp files or the registry interfering with the launching process.

Man this and ZT 1 take me back man. I used to think about the zoos i would make when I got home from primary school as a kid. Games hit different back then I swear.
Shout out to the other coments for their tutorials. I have this running on a Win 7 VM and a Win XP bare metal machine!

Nice one but i recommend you to upload files in 500 mb parts

Puedo cambiarlo a español?

after i finished install it and want to play,
it said that, "insert zoo tycoon 2 disc"..
i've already mount the disc 1 but this still happened...
why?

Thanks all the previous comments for your help. I've been missing this game since I upgraded to a PC without a disc drive. I appreciate not having to go to Amazon for a digital copy of something I already own :)

Thank you so much!!! I tried several other downloads but this is the one that worked for me, I'm tremendously happy I have a chance to play this game again.

One small question if anyone could please respond: Is it possible to install mods?

tryed downloading the game twice but nothing is happening

Once its about to be done downloading i get error 1305 "verify that file: 301_000f exist. I did see someone comment about the same issue and that those files need to be copied from disk 2 and 3 to disk 1 map "files". Whenever i do that it says that i can not copy due to lack of space? Not sure what to do here

NOCD missing fix:
very simple, when you go to download ZooTycoon there's a separate download link to the "noCD" file underneath as "game extras". I missed it the first time too, hence why you guys can't see it on your pc because you haven't downloaded it yet.

download tutorial?

Bruh please can someone make a youtube tutorial on how to download from here? This seems like the most reliable site, but there's no tutorial on youtube. Thanks

Could someone make a youtube tutorial with video and audio on how to download this? I'd be forever grateful. ENJOY's comment seems to explain it quite well, but I just can't wrap my mind around it. I'm more of a visual learner. Thanks!

I wanna know why is it that after downloading the game and having everything run fine, some days later when trying to play the game, my pc will do the blue screen that no one wants to see ever, that is what I want to know.

I managed to install but it says I need to have the CD inserted to play. Even having all three images mounted it still says I need the CD. There was no crack in the .zip for this.

nie warto czekać bo nie działa

I got the discs installed thanks to ENJOY and TANKSHOW8's comments, but when I autorun nothing happens, and when I try to autorun again it says "Another instance of Startup.exe is already running", so the file is running, but the game doesn't startup. Help anyone?

I can't seem to get it to install for some reason? I open up the file after mounting it with WinCDEmu and it starts to let me install then the installer just, disappears? It says its still running if I look at Task Manager but I still can't seem to find it.

Hello, does this include the expansion packs? :'(

My original CD containing ZT and all the expansions was accidentally thrown out recently and I'm aching to play this game again.

I worked it out, gotta run in compatibility mode (vista v2) and as administrator

I followed the steps outlined by "ENJOY" in the comments, and everything went as it should until I launch the new "zt.exe". The cursor loads for a few seconds and then nothing happens....?
please send help

I put all the disks in and install was doing great! Until the last file... Error 1305.Error reading from file x302_000.z2f.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it. Which I did, it is present and the access is the same as the other files... Can someone help me? :)

It still works great! Everything went smoothly, awesome and supportive community

Hi I commented here saying I couldn't install. But now I can play the game. I was a bit of a dum dum back then lol.

I used winCDemu, mount all three disks first and then run the autorun (the icon doesn't appear in the toolbar for some reason, so I had to minimize every other window). Replace the ZT exe with the one in NOCD and done!

im trying zooooms link but it says ur download will begin shortly and it doesnt begin

im having a loop thing where i have succesfully installed the game but when i play the game it says
please insert disk 1 into CD drive and then restart the application
while the disk is already loaded
P.S i used power iso instead of the one listed above below whereever

Trying to follow instructions left by previous users and am stuck at the step of installing the cd crack. Have followed the provided link, downloaded the file, and now am trying to extract the new zt.exe to the files folder using winrar........ and am getting this message: "C:\Users\_____\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.699\ZOO.TYCOON.2.UC.V1.0.ENG.NODVD.ZIP: Cannot open C:\Users\____\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.699\ZOO.TYCOON.2.UC.V1.0.ENG.NODVD.ZIP
! The system cannot find the path specified."
Anyone have any idea what is going on?

After mounting disk 1 using both wincdemu and daemon tools lite there is the splash screen and I select install. Then there is like a progress bar thing and it disappears and I can't figure out how to open it again, and I don't see it installed anywhere. I tried mounting disc 2 and 3 next but it just says a no associated app error. I can't open the autorun on disk 1 anymore.

What's going on here? Anyone knows? I'm not really tech savvy. Also if there is like a video instruction preferably, I understand instructions better that way.

where is NoCD .zip locted

I tried following the directions posted by ENJOY, but, Wincdemu wouldn't read it for some reason after trying to mount disc 1 multiple times. Could not get past first step. Would recommed daemon tools (lite) - It's a lot faster and easier.

I liked Zoo Tycoon (First Part) than Zoo Tycoon 2, although it was not 3D it was pretty fun and enjoyable game. But Zoo Tycoon didn't lock the campaign's objective once completed, it kept on switching. So i couldn't properly play that game. It always changed according to guest mood and animal mood, which made the game very hard.
It killed all the fun. Can anyone of us made a request to the developers to patch that up, like an update. If that was possible it would have been fun.

Have followed instructions already posted however have hit another wall, when i try to copy and pasta .exe file from no cd to disc files it says there isn't enough space to copy it there, and i cant remove the old file to make space or change the name of it.

I want to play it again, when I was little, I loved playing this game

Hi there are no walls to build tanks and do marine stuff in the game, is there a fix to this?

I am scared it wont work

Heaven help i've tried the tutorials, and all ie done is slow down my laptop exponentially. i'm not tech savvy at all. send help!!!

Molly, try running the zt.exe instead of startup.exe. If that doesn't work try uninstalling, clear your registry of any trace of the game (Be careful doing this, but like run CCleaner for instance) and then try re-installing by following the instructions in the comment below.
