That will be difficult. You may try to add install.exe and setup.exe to the list of
disallowed programs in Group Policy as explained in the KB link below that may stop
less knowledgeable users. A better solution would be to contact the software
publisher about what ntfs/registry permissions would need to be changed to allow
regular users to use the application. You could try to do that yourself using free
third party tools from Sysinternals - regmon and filemon. While logged on as a
regular user, use runas to invoke filemon or regmon just before you try to run the
application. Then view the logs to see where access was denied, document/make
permission modifications and try again. If you can not get it to work, you may want
to consider using the compatws.inf template on those workstations which will give
users the same ntfs/registry permissions as power users, but without the extra rights
that a power user has such as creating shares. --- Steve
