Make the user you want to be able to install software a Local Administrator of that PC. Go to the Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> User and Passwords. Then select the "Advanced" tab and then select the "Advanced" button. Double click the "Groups" icon and then double-click "Administrators." Click "Add..." and then in the "Look In:" filed, browse to the domain the user is in. Find that user account and add it. This will make that user a local admin for that PC. I use this at work as well, for some users, and it works well.

You could take this a step further and create a Workstation Admins group in the domain which you then add to the local administartors group on each workstation as you build them, then all you have to do is add the users to the domain group.
