Resulting pkg terminates with an error #24

I have tried several times and on several hosts to create a pkg for 10.11.6. I'm using very simple command (since more verbose commands failed as well) sudo /Users/localadmin/Documents/createOSXinstallPkg/createOSXinstallPkg --source /Users/localadmin/Documents/createOSXinstallPkg/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/ --identifier com.apple.installosx.pkg. The error I get is: "The Installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Please help, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

You'll want to look at /var/log/install.log for clues as to why it failed for you.

I do know many people (including myself) have successfully built 10.11.x and 10.12.x install pkgs.

I have been trying over and over, what I have been able to determine is: the current version of createOSXinstallPkg results in this error (file date September 24, 2016), however, if I use the older createOSXinstallPkg no issues at all (file date June 10, 2015)
