ZTD Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening ZTD Files

Microsoft Zoo Tycoon Disappeared

If you attempt to load your ZTD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open ZTD Files". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Zoo Tycoon is not installed on %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your ZTD with Microsoft Zoo Tycoon, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When another ZTD application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.

Incorrect Microsoft Zoo Tycoon Version

In other instances, your Zoo Tycoon Data Archive file version may not be supported by your version of Microsoft Zoo Tycoon. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Zoo Tycoon from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. Your Zoo Tycoon Data Archive file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Zoo Tycoon than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: If you right-click on your ZTD file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening ZTD files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Zoo Tycoon installed.
