I believe that I have omitted part of your inquery.
A limited account cannot install software that has an
installer that writes to the registry and installs for all
accounts. It can however install software that does
not use much except file copy. This last type of install
really cannot be prevented if the account has write access
anywhere (which it will if it is a useful account).
You can use group policy to advertise or assign applications
to specific account, and also to control what specific account
can execute. This last use of software restriction policy is
really the only way to prevent a limited user from, not installing,
but from having any use of what they installed (making their
installing useless in those cases where write access does allow
for simple installs.)
