Fix for missing WebObjects executable file...
I did mean /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables, sorry Chuck.
I have things working now, but there is a very strange problem I had to fix:

I uninstalled WO5.2, then re-installed and checked 
/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables which, rather than being a directory was 
an executable file which was obviously supposed to be the WebObjects 
executable itself.

Finding this hard to believe I deleted it and re-created CGI-Executables as 
a directory, uninstalled and re-installed WO5.2 from disk. Amazingly, 
following the install the directory I created was gone and had been 
replaced by the executable file named CGI-Executables again.

So this time I again created CGI-Executables as a directory myself and 
copied the CGI-Executables file that the WO5.2 install had created into it, 
renaming it to WebObjects.

Then applied updates 5.2.1 to 5.2.4 and all is well.

I did consider installing WO developer but as I am installing on Mac OS X 
Client, it doesn't appear to be possible, Apple do not supply WO5.2.2 
deployment update and instead tell you to upgrade to Mac OS X Server. I 
will avoid doing so as long as I can get away with it.
