Solved Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Won't Run on Vista

I own Zoo Tycoon 2 Ultimate Edition. I also have Zoo Tycoon 2 and Endangered Species. ZT2, the base game, and ES run just fine, but when i install ZT2 Ultimate and go to start the game, nothing happens. When i try to start it again, it says that another occurrence of Setup.exe is already running.

Setup.exe? That's the installer that is running, not the game, have you verified that the install was completed? Navigate to c:/program files/Microsoft games/zoo tycoon 2/ and see if there is a program in there called zt.exe, if so, double click that file and see if the game boots, if it does, right click it and send to desktop and delete the other shortcut.

That's exactly what was wrong. I can't believe the silly game put the wrong icon on the desktop, but i got the right one on there now. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
