If the users have only "user" rights on the local machine (are members of
the local "users" group) - then they cannot install applications.

If the users are members of the local "administrators" group - then you just
gave them full rights - no matter how you try to limit them.

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions.   Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.
