Issues Opening BFB Files

Zoo Tycoon 2 Not Present

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open BFB Files" when trying to open your BFB. If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Zoo Tycoon 2 for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your BFB with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your BFB, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Obsolete Version of Zoo Tycoon 2

It is possible that your version of Zoo Tycoon 2 isn't able to open your Zoo Tycoon 2 Model File file due to incompatibility. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Zoo Tycoon 2.
