Have you tried running dragging the mod that you want to load onto ZDoom.exe or using one of the [wiki=Frontend]ZDoom Frontends[/wiki]?

You are doing something wrong, so you have to describe what precisely you did.

Are you sure you're not trying to launch a Doom 1 PWAD with Doom 2? There was a thread a few days ago exactly with that issue. If the wad you're loading is for Doom 1, load that as an IWAD.

Try to use a bat file:

open notepad, and write

zdoom.exe -iwad doom2.wad -file yourwad.wad

them save like yourwad.bat, and run it
