How to Allow a Limited User to Install Software Using GPO

[Blue Sky]

Can anyone tell how to do this please. I went into GPO using
gpedit.msc

then under the following paths: User Configuration --> Administrative
Templates--> Windows Components

Enabled the following:

Windows Installer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
then under the following paths: Local Computer Policy--> Computer
Components --> Administrative Templates-->Windows Components

enabled the following:

Disable Windows Installs
Prohibit User Installs
Always install with elevated priveledges

But I still get the following errror when trying to install a software
download from the following site
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

The following error : "You do not have access to make the required
system configuration modification."

Anyone have any ideas or comments or suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.

Unfortunately the above link is to the same question I had posted and
in which the helpful solutions did not work. Hence for the reason for
the postings again.

Then post a reply to your original thread, not a new thread with the same
subject.

I did that also but got no reponses either. Thanks will keep that in
mind when posting to the same group. Cheers.

Then perhaps no one had anything else to suggest? Or perhaps they thought
it was a ridiculous idea in the first place to allow a Limited User to
install anything, thereby defeating the purpose of a Limited User Account.

I understand what your saying but can you tell me then what other
method would be appropriate to allow a user to install software but
not give them administrator rights ? How about making the user a power
user then stripping all other rights ? Could you tell me the best
place to figure out how to do this ?

Thanks
