l can not use fusion dmg

[whipo]

when i install fusion 12, i can not make dmg run to install, the dmg ask me  the password, and then it dont work

[whipo]

I upgrade to macos 11.1, so sad to have this problem

[ColoradoMarmot]

What do you mean the DMG is asking for a password?  The installer will trigger that prompt, but not the DMG itself.

You do need to install and run Fusion as an administrator user BTW.

[whipo]

Yes, the installer asks me to enter a password to run the installer, but when I enter the password, the installation process does not work properly, so I cannot install the fusion program.

The time machine I use can restore the fusion 12 I took down, and I can't open it.

My Mac is 11.1 and my vm is 12.1
