Allow limited users to install software by group policy

i need allow limted user (domian user): 1.install software. 2.access & modify regedit 3.access , modify system variables need group policy , without adding user local administrators group on desktop. need settings applied ever user logged on (any machine in domain). as said, allowing "software installation". allow users access literally registry keys , file system places except user profiles of other users - not idea. if user profiles/data concern local admins of supporters, think redirecting user data server , secure them there (just suggestion). software installation can done using computer startup scripts. create script , call installer. installer must capable of running quietly - might wanna test that. using computer startup scripts deploy software, script (and therefore installer) runs in system context (hence priviledged install kind of software). as system variables, can group policy preferences: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772047.aspx . if need
