Installation of Programs

[snakeeyes1978]

Is there a way that I can allow users to install programs without making them a member of the Administrator group??

I've changed the permissions for the relevant sections of the registry which I want to allow users to be able to change and which sections I don't want them to be able to change but the majority of problems say that you must be part of the "administrator" group to install programs.

Computer Configuration (or User Configuration) / Administrative Templates/ Windows Components/ Windows Installer - see what is available here.

Have a look at Greg PALMER's free program, see if you can make use of that?
