    The standard installer is working for me on 10.11.6 El Capitan, I'd suggest reboot and try again.

    Looks like DB have removed the offline installer from the main download page, but it's still available, here.

    Similarly, if an error is encountered I'd recommend restart the computer and run the installer again.

    (Previously posted download link also updated.)

     

    Mod note: edited to update link in post. [last updated 2022]
