Overwrite Error

[kspitzer14]

I am getting an error on some of my test machines. It looks like it is failing the installer version check but I can't seem to understand why. Using the script to do upgrades from Catalina to Big Sur so I know that the installer build is higher than the system build. I am using the overwrite flag, but the error seems to suggest it isn't being seen. Anyone have an idea how to resolve.

I suspect you have an incomplete download. Can you show me the command you used?

Here is the script copied from our jamf server, the parameters set in jamf, and the log file from one of the machines that it is failing on. We have tested on ~70 machines and had about 5 that have had similar results.

I am seeing something similar on Montery to Ventura.

Script:
/Library/Management/erase-install/erase-install.sh --reinstall --os=13 --update --current-user --min-drive-space=60 --check-power --depnotify --cleanup-after-use

I just looked in the install location of erase-install (in my case /Library/Management/erase-install/) and saw the offending "Install_macOS_13.0.1-22A400.sparseimage" file which I deleted.

Now it runs.

Might see if there is a file there in yours.
