What if the user is already running the latest version? #1

What happens if I trigger Installomator on a system that happens to already be running the latest version?

Does it download the software anyway, since it may need to do that to know if the version is latest?

Does it try to install the software regardless?

I'm wondering how careful you should be in NOT scheduling this to trigger too often on a schedule if you don't know if the user needs the update. Would be nice to document this aspect.

I did read over the code, but couldn't quite tell what happens. I haven't tested it yet, but would like to do so.

It would be interesting to save etag data for the downloads somewhere and check that BEFORE redownloading the software again, but perhaps with a flag to force reinstall.
