You could try making them power users which while more powerful than a regular users
is still a long way from an administrator. Regular users by design are very limited
in to what they can install on computers.

If these are .msi applications or can be converted to .msi applications you can use
Group Policy to publish or assign the applications to users or computers. -- Steve
