Sudre mentioned conversions may not be possible so we're recreating the package from scratch. Using Packages, we added the one file that gets installed (/usr/sbin/jamf) and we renamed the "postflight" script to the required "postinstall" name. Checked to make sure the permissions are right, will test tomorrow.
If this works, we're going to ask JAMF to add an option to save the Quick Add installer as a flat pkg for email distribution. :)
Thanks,
Don
