Suggestion for Fusion 12 attempt to install on Apple Silicon

Would it be possible to modify Fusion 12 to enforce installation or running only on an Intel Mac? There are way too many instances on this forum where people are migrating to new M1 Macs from Intel Macs, and installing the released Fusion 12 without realizing that it won’t work. They get through the install, the UI comes up, but then get obscure error messages when they try to use it. It would be better to detect the situation with a very explicit and clear message that this is not supported and halt the installation.
