$50 If You Can Get Zoo Tycoon 2 To Work

I bought the Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Collection and it isn't installing. It starts to load then when it gets to the installing portion I get an error 1628. I have tried EVERYTHING out there I can find... clean boot, changing memory, InstallShield1,.... You get this done for me and I will pay you through PayPal.

Did you set it to run in windows 7 compatibility mode? Try that. Or reinstall Zoo Tycoon 2 in windows 7 compatibility mode again.

I tried compatibility mode with all other versions.

Method 1 (If you have antivirus):

Disable your antivirus

Method 2:

Go to Control Panel
-Search for Windows Defender
-Try clicking to open the Windows Defender windows, if it doesn't, click the "Search for spyware..." option.
-If you clicked the search, stop it
-Go to "Tools" tab (I believe it's going to be called like this, in english)
-Open "Options"
-"Real-Time Protection"
-Disable it
-Install the game
-Voila!

If method one doesn't works, try doing both of them in order.

The fifty bucks thing is still counting?

Cheers! :D

you are not the first that has tryied to explan this to steam. soon we get 10years old thread and person might be dead.
i even suggest that in a ticket reason is, most thread can be outdate and should be marked as read only, only people that did reply should have right to delete own post.
again is what you ones said dont mean samething today.

words and context do change over decads of time.

ps.
not sure if steam will change this or even want to. but hey start report so people can't necro old post that time has killed even then solve or not. who want real a reply 1 year later. ( seen many old forum with outdated content, imo. locked them all as read only. )
