Still, I would like know from Apple why they thought such a complex procedure is necessary. So, Apple evidently intends for users of newer model Intel Macs to use this new answer to retrieve the Install OS X El Capitan application. This answer is must less of a hack, because Apple explicitly inserted code into the El Capitan installer to bypass the checking of the model when executed in a "VMware Fusion Player" virtual machine. The first alternative answer involves using a virtual machine.

I have posted two alternative answers to this question. Justin reported this answer still works for Yosemite. At best, these instructions are just a hack and Apple has every right to change the InstallMacOSX.dmg file to prevent the desired results.

These instructions may work as expected, if you are using an older saved version of this file. I have noticed that these instructions no longer work as expected when using the current InstallMacOSX.dmg file, which can be downloaded from either the Apple website " How to get old versions of macOS" or the Apple website " How to create a bootable installer for macOS".
