2. The Post Install Action is not available for some of the Packages. For such Packages, VHQ Agent on Device takes care of the required Post install actions.

3. The Post Install Action Restart Application (s) does not restart the VHQ Agent application in a device, but restarts all other applications running on a device. If VHQ Agent must be restarted after downloading a file to a device, then the Reboot post-install option should be selected before uploading the given file to the VHQ server library.
