What does it do if you hit command+Q. Remember, you have to be in the
installer window before hitting command+Q.
BTW, command is C A! not o, m m A N D.

Hmmm, doesn't seem to work here it wants to install instead of letting
me do comand q to quit it.

It's not a dmg. It's actually a .app file. Once you do the steps I
outlined, the installer will start. Command+tab over to it, and hit
command+Q to quit the installer.
Now, you'll find the installer in your applications folder. Just take
that .app file, and copy it to a DVD, or a flash drive, or whatever.
If you're trying to make a bootable installer on a USB drive or what not,
then you'll need that .app file I described above. Then, you'll also need
to get a free app from
http://www.kondiskmaker.com
The utility initially was for Lion, and that's why it has that domain for
the web site, but the dev definitely has updated it. It now supports El
Capitan entirely.
I've used it several times to make bootable media, and it's fantastic.

Ok, but that would only let you install it then I would like a manual
installer dmg for the full version isn't there a way to get this?

As I said, I went to the app store, searched for El Capitan, then in the
search results, I clicked on El Capitan, then install.

Let me clarify what I meant by "Manual update." All I did was to
search the mac app store manually from the toolbar for El Capitan, find
it in the search results, and then manually click on install rather
than letting Software Update find it for me.
Nevertheless, it's about 5 or 6 gigs, give or take.

Like I said, it could have been a few different things or could
have simply required waiting a bit to try to check for updates. The
important thing is you are up and running with 10.11.2.
As for the manual download, you can get any software from the
Apple.com website from the support page. Just do a search for the
manual updater for El Capitan.

John,
I definitely only have one Apple ID, and it was already signed in.
that said however, I did sign out and back in. I don't recall if I
rebooted or not, though with my level of tech skill, it wouldn't
surprise me if I did.
Chris.

I’m assuming you had already gotten up and running with 10.11.1
before you tried the update? I probably would have signed out of the
Mac App store, rebooted the system and then signed back into the
store just to see what would occur. There are a couple of factors,
but that would depend on there own factors as well, such as Apple ID’s
being used, ETC.

Guys,
This isn't really a big deal per sé, but it does have me a little
bit curious.
I have a white polycarbon mid 2010 13 inch macbook, which has El
Capitan.
For some reason, my mac got really really sluggish, and was
practically locking up every second I'd turn my head. I ran all
the necessary disk and permission repairs etc. Nothing at all
seemed to be helping. My suspicion is that I had an app installed
which was really bogging down the system, although even looking
through Activity Monitor, it was a little hard to determine.
For this reason and a few others, I went ahead and bit the bullet
by simply just repartitioning the drive, wiping it, and starting
clean. The weird thing is, I noticed when I went to the mac app
store to download El Capitan, so I could use Disk Maker X to create
my bootable media, I noticed that 10.11.2 was available, although,
I only had 10.11.1. Weirdly enough, though I am not on any beta,
private nor public at this given time, and though I'm not currently
even enrolled with this mac for the beta in the first place,
Software Update simply put, would not, try as I may, let me install
nor download the 10.11.2 update. It kept telling me no updates
were available. I say it's not a big deal, as I simply just went
the manual route, and manually downloaded it, but why would it be
there in the app store, yet Software update not see it? To me,
that makes entirely no sense. Yes, I have my security settings
configured in System Prefs to notify of OS updates, and never have
I had an issue like this previously.
It just has me a bit bathled.
Any ideas? As for the post news of this message, LOL, I did manage
to get 10.11.2 installed from the manual download/install I
performed. I also have found that things no longer are sluggish at
all.
Chris.
