YeahI have had many problems with Nessus and you hit the nail on the head. Mount the DMG and find the hidden package and use that instead. I have opened up cases with them about this and also told them that their scripts in their package are no longer supported in flat packages.

when packaging nessus, we need to extract the hidden .NessusAgent.pck file, and import that to composer, then edit the 'postinstall' script that is already there? looks there is already a script when I import it, this is what it contains:

Looks like the only reason they wrap it is for the license, logo, and readme . I stumbled upon the hidden .pkg in their install guide (but should have checked here first). I shouldn't have to do that. Software is supposed to be self-explanatory.

2 years later and this fix still holds true! I was able to unhide the real .NessusAgent.pkg and remove the . from it to unhide, uploaded it into Jamf Pro and successfully rolled out the agent after. Thanks @arekdreyer.
