This is a GPT-formatted USB with a FAT partition. It will not work for BC Assistant. In OSX Terminal run
diskutil eraseDisk fat32 WININSTALL disk2
Please ensure it is disk2, before you erase it, otherwise you will lose data, if you use a different disk.
In El Capitan Disk Utility, the equivalent is to choose MBR format.
