However, there is no simple generic method to actually determine the latest version of an application or installer.
We deploy Installomator usually for user initiated installations from Self Service, so re-installs don't really 'hurt' and may be a useful troubleshooting step.
When you want to have automated installations, you should use smart groups based on the app version to limit excessive re-installations.
