Depending on the application you may be able to tweak folder and registry
permissions to allow a regular user to install it. Try making the user a
power user temporarily and if that works you should be able to tweak
permissions to be like that of a power user. There is a security template
called compatws.inf that will give users group the same ntfs and registry
permissions as a power user.
Joe Richards has a utility like runas called cpau that allows you to create
a batch file and encode the credentials needed. See the link below if
interested in that.

With XP Pro you can use Software Restriction policies to restrict what
software a user can install and run via hash, certificate, and/or path
rules. You can also set the enforcement option so that it applies to local
administrators. However a local administrator can bypass SRP if they boot
into safe mode assuming they know that. See the link below if interested in
SRP. Good luck. --- Steve
