Difficulty installing Zoo Tycoon2

G

Guest

For Zoo Tycoon 2 the error states it is "setup.exe -- Application error" and
reads
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Clink on OK to
terminate the application."

I have been unable to determine any ways to resolve this and am becoming
quite frustrated. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew

Let's try a couple of things to get that working for you again:

1. Startup your system in SAFE MODE by pressing F8 repeatedly
while your system is booting up after you've shut down your system

2. Log in with an account you've created as a "Computer Administrator"
account that you'll use to play the game. (Don't use a Limited account)

download for your computer it worked for me.!

Your suggestions were helpful in installing the Zoo Tycoon games, but am
still having problems with one of the Hoyle Card Games. When in safe mode,
it states that it needs to be at least 600X800 pixels, but when I attempt to
change this it does not actually accept the changes when in safe mode and it
will still not install in regular mode. Still get the error message stating
that "only part of the ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was
completed."

Hi Baboo,

For that game then, try the following:

Click Start / Run and type: msconfig
Click on the Startup Tab
Click the Disable All button

Restart and install the game
After you install the game, click the
Enable All button in the Startup Tab
close MSConfig and Reboot.
