Zoom installation in a MacBook Pro 2021: "installation failed"

I bought a MacBook Pro yesterday and I tried to install zoom. (I downloaded zoom from their website, clicking on the link specific for the M1 Mac processors, such as the one I have).

 

I have the latest macOS 13.0 installed.

 

During the installation, I received a question about whether I would like to give Zoom permission to access some file folders. Not knowing what to do, I clicked " No" but I never thought that would lead to an installation fail.

 

Right after I clicked "no" I get a banner saying the installation failed. Not much explanation of why it failed.

 

Then, I removed the installation file, and I downloaded it again from the Zoom website.

 

Now, the problem is that I don't get anymore the permission question. It automatically gets again to the " installation failed" banner.

 

It seems as if my first " no" response to the permission question is still recorded somewhere and as a result any other attempt to install Zoom keeps failing over and over.

 

Does anybody suffered this? Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi, if you go into your system settings, then into privacy & security, then files & folders, you can grant the Installer application Full Disk Access.
