Installation instructions:
If installing using the full install: remove your existing Zombie Master directory (if any). Follow installer instructions. Install into your \Steam\steamapps\SourceMods directory, which should be detected automatically by the installer.
If installing a patch: just follow installer instructions. Make sure you have installed the appropriate full version before installing a patch.
