Version: Build 3211

• OS X (10.7 or later is required) a Lot of wiggle from between OS X 10.7 released July 20, 2011 and Monterey macOS 12 released Oct 2021 like a full Decade

Added it is probably not even written as 64 Bit

Rosetta 2 in built into macOS Big Sur and  Monterey. It is only available on Apple Computer with the Silicon M1 / M2 CPU. 

There are three categories / types of software that can run on the Operations System.

Only Intel Binary Code. This is software will invoke Rosetta 2 to translate the Intel binaries so the operating system can understand and execute the Application. The Applications must be 64 Bit to function on Big Sur and Monterey

Universal Binary Software.  It contains Both Intel and M1 ARMs binary code and refer to (  Universal 2 ) When the user installs a 64 bit Application that contains Both Intel and M1 ARMs binaries - depending on factors, the Operating System may or may not invoke Rosetta 2.

“ Apple Silicon “ Checking in System Information >> Applications  >> as of now, only see One Application classified as Apple Silicon and that is “ Rosetta 2 Updater “.

That would make perfect sense since it is specifically designed to operate only on Apple Silicon M1 / M2 ARMs based computers 

The Operating System does often popup Cryptic Error Messages but a " bug " - agree to disagree on that one.

With the additional information on-hand ( 32 Bit versus 64 Bit application ) it easier to Understand the Cryptic Error Message better
