EDIT: Oh, I’m dumb as hell. InstallShield was opening a new popup that for some reason appeared under all my other windows and didn’t appear in the taskbar, so I didn’t realize it was open. Once I finally noticed it dicking around trying to fix things, I clicked through and it installed fine. I’m gonna leave a comment about it on myabandonware.
Hey, all.
I downloaded Zoo Tycoon 2 from myabandonware dot com. I understand that I need to mount the .bin files, go into the mock CD drives, and install them, but the installation wizard doesn’t seem to work.
I run setup.exe and get a popup saying that the game is setting up the InstallShield Wizard, and preparing to install. A loading bar loads up and the popup closes, and then nothing happens. There’s no error message. If I check Task Manager, I can see that the InstallDriver module is still running, but taking up no CPU (see attached image). It hangs like this indefinitely.
I tried running it as administrator, fixing corrupted system files, and re-registering Windows installer service.
I’m running Windows 10, I can give more system info if necessary. Does anyone know what’s going on and how to fix it?
I didn’t play the first game but zoo tycoon 2 ultimate edition also includes a marine mania and dino danger addon. I absolutely love it and have sunk sooo many hours into this game since I was a teen. I still sometimes play for a whole weekend just building a new zoo. If you have some spare time you should absolutely try it.

It happens. When in doubt, the simplest and stupidest way it could wrong is usually what happened.

sorry.
Is Zoo Tycoon 2 worth it if you like Zoo Tycoon with Marina Mania and Dino Digs?
