launcher script for jamf ignoring the required version

[mrmte]

Describe the bug using the launcher script for jamf and im specifying these variables in the policy --current-user --reinstall --version=13.3 --check-power --no-fs --rebootdelay 300 --cleanup-after-use I then on purpose put on the system the 13.2.1 Ventura installer on the system to see what happens. It seems the version is 13.3 is being ignored and its just going ahead and using the 13.2.1 installer on the system instead of deleting it and downloading the proper required version.

To Reproduce run via jamf policy with the launcher script put on the system the 13.2.1 Ventura installer under /Applications folder execute via a self service policy using the launcher script

Expected behavior im expecting the old 13.2.1 installer on the system to delete and download the correct installer

closing sorry just read the wiki again and it is working as expected using the found installer.

That's not a bug, it is by design. If you want it to update any existing installer on the device, use the --update flag.
