You’re posting this in the Tech Preview forum, so I’m assuming you’re trying to install the Tech Preview on an Intel iMac.
It’s not explicitly documented, but I believe that the Tech Preview is based on Fusion 12.2. That version requires macOS 11 Big Sur or 12 Monterey. It wouldn’t surprise me that the “universal” 22H2 Tech Preview would have this requirement for Intel Macs. A lot of us have been running the TP on M1 Macs that run macOS 11 or 12 so we may not have seen this.
For the Fusion released versions, the following KB article describes which Fusion version runs on which macOS version: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2088571
You will need Fusion Fusion 12.1.x (not 12.2.x) or 11.5.x to run on your iMac running macOS 10.15 Catalina.
