Unable to install VMware Fusion on Mac

Hi,

I have run into an issue where I am not able to install VMware Fusion (11.5 or 10.1.6 - I tired both of them) on my mac.  I downloaded the dmg.  When I go to install, it asks me if I trust an application downloaded from the web.  It them open a VMware window with a message to double click to install.  I double click.  It looks like the VMware installer starts.  But then it just sits there and finally the process goes away without installing anything.  Anyone else see an issue like this?  Have a workaround?  Let me know.

Thanks

What's the OS version and model of the host?  It may be too old to work.

Also, make sure that you're installing as an administrator account.
