Testing macOS 14 Sonoma - Possible Issue -Existing installer does not match requested build, so replacing...

[JohnBatshon]

Good morning all,

I am in the middle of testing / building out a policy for macOS 14 Sonoma and running into issues. I was on a older version of Erase-Install so I tried installing the more current versions and even the preview version v31.0. When I attempt to run the policy it ends up not completing and I am seeing the following read out in the logs... (see example below). Not sure if its just because the OS is so new its having issues, but when it says its comparing versions and the version numbers match I am not certain why it says it does not match. Any advice or suggestions would be awesome. Thanks for your time & support.
