How long have you left it at the 16 min point cause Apple mins to go is fictional at best 16 mins could mean 45 it depends on processor speed don't forget it's USB 2 which isn't the fastest.

I've just tried doing the installation and have gotten the same error message as before, I had a look through the troubleshooting section of the tonymacx86 forum and it wasn't much help, I've pretty much tried all the suggested fixes short of trying a different thumbdrive, nothing has worked so far.
It seems like there's something wrong with the file "Essentials.pkg", or it can't be found or something like that.

Doc I'd start here check that absolutely every component you have in your build is 100% compatible as per this page here if it's not 9 times out of 10 it won't work. That includes motherboards graphics cards hdd and sometimes even memory.

There are a variety of booting errors that can come up too Doc.
Had a look through their list of motherboards and the one I'm using wasn't listed, neither was the CPU.
Doc, what is your sytem date/time set to in BIOS?
Scott.
It's set to the current date and time (25/05/2016 and 6:06pm).
Doc you sure you aren't Doc in the Back to the Future series and maybe the BIOS date/time is out of whack as you have been time travelling ? bwhahahah

Hahahaha....as far as I know I'm not Doc from Back To The Future Wokka, although somedays I wish I was...lol.
Is the install just stalling or still throwing the .pkg error?
It seems like a lot of the reported issues with that file error have either been solved by swapping the memory or just repeatedly re-trying until it works. If you've reset your BIOS to defaults since installing all the hardware, I'd probably try under-clocking the memory slightly (if possible) for the install and see if that helps. If it is a mem issue, that may coax it through.

Well Doc if you were Doc from BTTF you would have a dog called Einstein and own the Sporting Almanac which would allow you to put a bet on any sporting event and have 100% chance of winning big money hahah
