I'm trying to make a script that will install predefined Preflight options in In Design. This is my script till now :

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
   try
       make new preflight profile with properties {name:"TEST"}
   end try
   tell preflight profile "TEST"
       set description to "Preflight !!"
       tell preflight rule instance "ADBE_MissingModifiedGraphics"
           set flag to return as error
       end tell
   end tell
end tell

This gives the error : Adobe InDesign CS4 got an error: Preflight profile rule does not exist in the profile

Is there a way to avoid that? If i click on a preflight option in In Design it works fine after that. (But offcourse i want that automaticly done)

That script doesn't look right. My *guess* is that you need something like
this:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
    delete preflight profile 2
    try
        make new preflight profile with properties {name:"TEST"}
    end try
    tell preflight profile "TEST"
        set description to "Preflight !!"
        set pri to make preflight rule instance with properties
{id:"ADBE_MissingModifiedGraphics"}
        set flag of pri to return as error
    end tell
end tell
