I run into trouble occasionally when I update a package that may be part of a 
task sequence.  It seems that the TS collects the version number of the package 
at the beginning of the TS and then if the package is updated while the TS is 
running, it fails from a hash mismatch.  The TS running on the client is 
looking for an older package (and hash).

I wonder when the package version is collected, and is there any command I can 
run to make the package number be recomputed during the TS.
For instance, if I have a TS line that says Install Notepad, there is no 
package number listed in the TS - it just says install this package.  At what 
point is the package ID/version captured?   Can I get around this problem?  I 
hesitate to update packages because in a place like mine, there is always 
someone running a deployment and there is no good time to update packages.  Are 
there steps I can take to help mitigate this problem?

The package might be called explicitly in the Task Sequence or it might be 
called by dynamic packages reference ie -- Package001=XXX00001a, 
Package002=xxx000067, etc.  When does the version get captured for xxx00001a?  
Why not just in time?

What do you do about this?
