[Casper] 10.5.2 and Composer 5.11

Wed Mar 19 10:53:31 PDT 2008

I installed Xcode 3.0 and I did get the same error.

Composer doesn't even recognize Xcode 2.5...nice. =)

So you aren't losing your mind.

We normally convert all of our packages to a PKG so that we can take the package and push it using ARD. Also it makes it easier for an install on a machine that is not tied into Casper.

I haven't tried this, but I will. However, I'm curious as to why you convert to PKG?

Has anyone else had issues with 10.5.2 and Composer 5.11?  Every time I try to create a .pkg file from a DMG image (through the conversion process) I get a "Exception of class NilObjectException that was not handled" error and then composer quits.  This only started happening when I upgraded to 10.5.2.

Here is what I have in Console log for Composer around this time:
