Hi Robb,
Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup!
For your description, I understand that you want to restrict users to
install softwares and manage program installation permissions. If I am off
base, please don't hesitate to let me know.
The Software Restriction Policies (SAFER) is a way that administrators can
define what applications are allowed or disallowed to run on a target
system. The configuration is deployed via Group Policy objects and stored
in the registry (either HKLM for computer policy and HKCU for user policy).
However, it only applies to Windows XP and later systems.
You can refer to the steps in the following article to deploy the software
restriction policies:
324036 HOW TO: Use Software Restriction Policies in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324036
For more information on Software Restriction Policies, please refer to:
Software restriction policies (Step-by-step instructions on how to create
new software restriction policies.)

310791 Description of the Software Restriction Policies in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310791
There is another policy which can prevent users from installing software
(which use windows installer) on their systems or permit users to install
only those programs offered by a system administrator
Computer Configuration/Windows Settings/administrative templates/Windows
Installer/Disable Windows Installer.

Hope above information helps! I am happy to be assistance of you and look
forward to your reply!
Have a nice day!
