If you assign the program to a user, it is installed when the user logs on to the computer. When the user first runs the program, the installation is completed.
If you assign the program to a computer, it is installed when the computer starts, and it is available to all users who log on to the computer. When a user first runs the program, the installation is completed.

 Publish :
