Go figure.

I am not as familiar with the Zone Alarm products these days (I last did much with them about 6 years ago or so and am more familiar with Checkpoint's network level security firewall products). That said, ZES combines antivirus with a personal firewall with an OS Shield type of application that helps prevent applications from making changes to the OS (Such as Windows Defender or WinPatrol does).
My guess is that having ZES on the computer is detecting something in the OOTP install that it does not like and is blocking causing OOTP to perhaps not even install correctly.
That is based only on what you have posted here however, so is just a guess. I do not know if there are any logs that ZES keeps of what it actively blocks but if it does, you might check those logs out.
Otherwise I fear that I don't have a ton of help to offer other than perhaps Checkpoint or their user forum could provide some help with ZES blocking this application? Usually on these type of applications, it should prompt you when it is blocking something, I do not know if ZES does as well or if you might not have it set to notify you or what though beyond that I fear.
