Restrict user to install software in Windows 7

-1

I am using Windows 7 and have two user accounts on the machine:

  1. CJ - Administrator
  2. Others - Basic

I would like to configure the system so that the "Others" account can't install any software. In the past I have used gpedit.msc to block usage of msiexec.exe, but it didn't help now. Any ideas how to do this?

Simply set UAC to its most strict setting.
