Specifies the maximum time (in minutes) that the program is expected to run on the client computer. This setting can be specified as a whole number greater than zero. The default setting is 120 minutes.

Specify the estimated time that the deployment type will take to install.

Allow user to view and interact with program installation

Set this property to True to enable the user to view and interact with the program installation in order to configure installation options. If it is set to False, the program installation is hidden from the user.

Note:This property can be set to True only when the Login requirement property is set to Only when a user is logged on.

Provision this application for all users on the device

Set this property to True to give access to the windows app packages for all users on the device. If false, the access will be available only for the user it is deployed to.

Note:This property is applicable for AppX and MSIX packages.
