How to install software on Win2k so all users can access??

Slight problem I'm having here. As you probably know on Win2k you need Administrative privledges to add/remove software from the system.(I know power user profiles have some access in this area too but lets stick to Admin~user relationship for now please).

So here is my question:

How.. or What profile would you use to install software that lets ANY user who can log on to a workstation(domain or local... from an admin. to a regular user)use or access All the software on that workstation??

I am attempting to pre-load software for some of the desktop systems I am building out. Problem is when the users log on to the domain with their profile(usually as domain users) some software will not work. If I give them admin. privledges the software works fine. I hardly want all our users to have admin privledges. MS software does not appear to have this problem. Office 2000 suite, Project 2000 and several others appear to work without a hitch. Help ol' scooter out PLS!!!

 
Well a few things you can try, if you are running NTFS make sure the permissions on the folders are set so that everyone can use them. I fthat doesn't clear up the problem, log on as a normal user, and try to run the program. If you get an error such as: cannot access xxxxxx.xxx, log back on as admin and change the permissions on that file. It all really depends on the software. Make sure you copy any sortcuts that the user needs to the all users directory
