Cannot download MacOS Mojave installer

So that we can help you best, please tell us which Mac, model and year you’re having trouble with, and what macOS version you’re running. Find that info by clicking the Apple menu () at the top-left of your screen and then select About This Mac. (Note- for privacy and security please don’t post your serial number.)

If a simple reboot of your Mac doesn’t fix things, see if the problem still happens in Safe mode (press and hold the shift key down at startup). It can take much longer to safe boot (5 min) so be patient.

How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support 

Safe mode is non-destructive to user data. It’s not a cure-all, but very often corrects weird software behavior. When you're in safe boot, the machine will not be at its best performance, especially with graphics, but that's expected.

Does the problem persist while in Safe mode?

Try to download the installer while booted in Safe mode.

Exit safe mode by restarting your Mac normally and re-evaluate the issue again.

To find it... Find Any File...

http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php

Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.

If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, it's not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, there are 2 cures...

If you’re short of bandwidth or data… Disconnect from the Internet & set the Date back to 2014, then you can run the Install MacsOS Mohave App in Applications, so expired Certificates are not expired.

Or... trash the Install MacsOS Mojave.app in Applications then a new copy can be downloaded.

FWIW, there is no DMG of macOS Mojave, it's an app. Second, I had no problem downloading Mojave using the Terminal command you posted. It downloads "Install macOS Mojave" to the Applications folder. I'm installing it as a VM on my Late 5K 2015 iMac which is running Monterey 12.6.5 as I type.

edit: using VMWare Fusion 13.0.1

Time for bed.

Mojave guest…

I meant to mention, I don't know what 32bit app you wish to run but, no VM software supports accelerated graphics for OS X/macOS guests.
