Nov 2, 2015 9:30 AMby renjithrc84,Hi, thanks for your reply. I am very new to mac and all these installation stuff. I didn't try to make a usb installer. I read from the internet that no need for a usb installer in el capitan boot camp assistant. so i tried using iso files. regarding the requirements for software update service i think there is no problem from my side. also i tried 2 internet connections.

Nov 2, 2015 10:38 AMby Loner T,As a test, can you install Brigadier (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier) and test a manual download for your specific Model identifier using the '-m' qualifier?
MyName-rmbp:brigadier-master MyName$ ./brigadier -h
Usage: brigadier [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-m MODEL, --model=MODEL
System model identifier to use (otherwise this
machine's model is used). This can be specified
multiple times to download multiple models in a single
run.
-i, --install After the installer is downloaded, perform the install
automatically. Can be used on Windows only.
-o OUTPUT_DIR, --output-dir=OUTPUT_DIR
Base path where the installer files will be extracted
into a folder named after the product, ie.
'BootCamp-041-1234'. Uses the current directory if
this option is omitted.
-k, --keep-files Keep the files that were downloaded/extracted. Useful
only with the '--install' option on Windows.
-p PRODUCT_ID, --product-id=PRODUCT_ID
Specify an exact product ID to download (ie.
'031-0787'), currently useful only for cases where a
model has multiple BootCamp ESDs available and is not
downloading the desired version according to the post
date.
MyName-rMBP:brigadier-master MyName$ ./brigadier -m MacBook8,1 -o Bootcamp-MacBook8,1
Output directory Bootcamp-MacBook8,1 that was specified doesn't exist!
MyName-rMBP:brigadier-master MyName$ mkdir Bootcamp-MacBook8.1
MyName-rMBP:brigadier-master MyName$ ./brigadier -m MacBook8,1 -o Bootcamp-MacBook8.1
Using Mac model: MacBook8,1.

You can try running the following two procedures and try BC Assistant after the Brigadier download finished.
