Create a domain security group "installers" place the users you want to be able to intall software into this group. On the local machines add the "installers" group to the local administrators group. You can do this in a ghost image. Or in active directory users and computers, you can right click the computer object choose manage and add the group to the local administrators group. Once you are set up you can control who installs software by adjusting the membership to the "installers" group

I tried it out.
This does not solve the purpose as it won't let the users to install software which requires the admin privilages after making the users the member of power users group of the local system (workstation). I followed the Answer 1 to do this.

Any other answers.
