I've seen a number of postings regarding installing Sophos Central (including https://www.jamf.com/jamf-nation/discussions/12348/script-to-launch-sophos-cloud-installer which ultimately points to a derflounder post) but I'm not having any luck at all with getting things to work...

Can someone help me out a bit? Have things changed since the referenced post?

I assume you're trying to get Sophos Cloud installed from what I gather?

Here's what we do

Create a folder called sophos inside of /private/var/tmp (eg /private/var/tmp/sophos)
Download your Sophos installer from cloud.sophos.com. Take the contents of the download and copy it to /private/var/tmp/sophos (copy Sophos Installer.app and Sophos Installer Components folder).
Drag and drop the sophos folder into Composer. Make sure permissions are correct from the parent folder.
Open the package source on the left to show the Scripts folder and right click on Scripts.
Right click on Scripts and choose Add Shell Script > postinstall.
Use my postinstall script as a guide:

#!/bin/sh
## postinstall
#
# Created using this Sophos KB article:
# https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/14179#v9.2+
#
sudo /private/var/tmp/sophos/Sophos Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Sophos Installer --install;
#
# Remove installer
/bin/rm -rf /private/var/tmp/sophos;

exit 0      ## Success
exit 1      ## Failure

Hope this helps. It works as a normal pkg for Casper or ARD.
