That's normal. Voiceover isn't gonna speak by default when the installer is
launched. It assumes by default you're sighted. Just hit command+F5, and
you'll be well on your way... well... according to my! situation, all I can
say is... let's hope! LOL!

i installed my el capitan well because on the installation process voice
over won't speak, you have to open voice over at the time of the
installation. this is also hapen to me when i installed yosemite.

Hello Craig,
As a new Mac user, you should be extremely proud of yourself. It takes a
lot of guts to install a new OS, especially after so short of a time at
the helm.
Just think about it, both you and I came up with the exact same solution
and I've been doing this for over 7 years; I don't know if that says more
about you or about me (big, big smile). My point is that, in my opinion,
you did the correct thing in powering down the computer and rebooting.
As for how the OS was successfully installed, suffice me to say that all
of the proverbial heavy-lifting was already done by the time the setup
assistant was launched. This is just a guess but I suspect that the
problem for both of us was simply some kind of a video display glitch.
Generally speaking, the setup assistant assesses what passwords and such
need to be entered by the user before proceeding. However, all of the
mission-crucial tasks have already been completed.
After my reboot, I received a couple of password prompts that I would
probably have received during the setup process, nothing more.
Finally, as for the issues you are encountering, if you feel up to it, I
would appreciate it if you would begin a new thread detailing them so we
can all compare notes, as it were.
Craig, well done on your installation and, if I have not expressed the
sentiment earlier, welcome to the family.

Mark, the installer progress bar lingered for me as well. I did the same
thing as you did: turn off the machine and then turn it back on. I don't
know know how El Capitan installed itself, but it did. This odd behavior
is especially disturbing to me as a new Mac user of two months. I am
wondering if some of the problems I am having with El Capitan are due to
the way it was installed--a process I rather bumbled my way through. I'm
not at all proud of my achievement and am now thinking of reverting back
to Yosemite.

Hello Everyone,
I cannot recall if this has been covered, on-list, but thought I would
share
two issues of some note, that occurred during my installation of El
Capitan.
1.
Upon successful download of El Capitan from the App Store, the installer
did
not automatically launch. This did not bother me as I always cancel the
installer until I make a USB install key.
2.
Rather than wiping my hard drive clean and installing El Capitan, fresh,
which I intend to do in a couple of weeks, I elected to install the OS
over
the current install of Yosemite. Upon restarting, and after the setup
assistant had launched, the install progress screen refused to disappear.
I
could enable/disable VoiceOver, I could use several of the VoiceOver
commands but the installation progress window, containing the Apple logo
and
a completed progress bar remained. After about an hour of waiting, I
powered down the computer and restarted. All has been well ever since.
Just a quick note to say that I never experienced this behavior during the
beta cycle.
Mark
