Got bored so decided to nip to the shop and buy a copy of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, got home and installed it, clicked the desktop icon to play it and it won't open I keep getting an error message :(

Can anyone help me?

Whoa, that is pretty abnormal. RCT works fine on my laptop, so can't help sorry. Have you tried the RCT forums (if they're still going)?

Will have a look around mate, can't even work out what it's saying the error is?!
 
Right click the icon > Compatibility tab > Tick the box in compatibility mode > Select one of the OS's

Might do the trick
 
It's pretty strange, can't say I've ever seen it before, not giving any clues either is it lol
 
this happen everytime you try and launch? Sometimes restarting pc can fix things. Also maybe try reinstalling
 
That's what happens when you install an inferior version. 2 > 1 > 3
 
I still play a lot, I remember playing it for the first time, I was glued to it for hours on end. Never actually completed any of them because I end up messing around and making the worst coasters imaginable XD
 
never seen that before tbh :S
rollercoaster tycoon is amazing, zoo tycoon ftw though
 
I think you should download and install visual c++ redistributable
 
Please perform these steps:
1. Open the folder 'C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum\'
2. Rename the 'rct3plus.exe' to 'rct3plus.exe.OLD' in the folder above
(Right-click on this executable and go down to 'rename')
3. Download this zip-archive:

4. Extract the new 'rct3plus.exe' from the downloaded zip-archive into the
folder 'C:\Program Files\Atari\RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum\'
5. Start the new 'rct3plus.exe'
