Here is the scenario:

I have one limited account on a windows XP machine. I would like to
allow this user to download and install software just this. I need to
know how this can be done using Group Policy Editor. If someone could
help (with links or tutorials) me sort this out using GPE it would be
nicely appreciated.

What I had to do is initially set file permissions from Safemode to
allow write permissions for the installation but still am getting an
error which says I need administrator rights.

PLEASE I do not want to know how this can be done using the Run As
command or changing the rights of the limited user to admin.

Thanks
