Problems with the patch and installing Extinct Animals?

[Becky216]

I had Zoo Tycoon 2, Marine Mania, Endangered Animals and Extinct Animals
installed on my PC running Windows Vista Home Premium, and they were working
just fine. I went online to check for a patch, and downloaded it. I wasn't
really paying much attention and thought I was just clicking through an
install process for the patch, but when I finished it said "Zoo Tycoon 2 has
been successfully uninstalled." I did not want to uninstall the whole game,
but for some reason that's what my computer did!

So, I tried re-installing the game, and was able to install Zoo Tycoon 2,
Endangered Animals, and Marine Mania. But when I try to install Extinct
Animals, it takes me immediately to a screen that says "This process will
uninstall Zoo Tycoon 2 from your computer." It will not even give me an
option to install Extinct Animals. Does anyone else have this problem? If so
what can I do, should I uninstall the patch? I wouldn't even know where to
look or how to do it...

HEEEELLLLPPP!!!

I also have the same problem as Becky216! I installed Zoo Tycoon 2 -
ZooKeeper Collection and it ran fine. Next I tried to install Zoo
Tycoon2:Extinct Animals. It started like it would install but all it would do
is give me the option to uninstall Zoo Tycoon 2. I tried this over and over
again, rebooting, uninstalling it, changed it's properties, checked for
administrations privileges, reinstalling Zoo Tycoon 2 but nothing worked. I
then tried to installed Marine Mania and it installed without a problem. Why
does Extinct Animals only want to uninstall the parent program and not
install itself?
