Let Users Install Program?

Is there a way to use Group Policies to let users install a certain software
that we use for our company? Right now, the users are in the User group. I
don't want them to have more rights than that, except to let them install or
update a particular program.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I saw where it let's you choose which files that
are allowed to run, but I did not see where it explains how to let users
install or update a certain software.

Is there a way that I can set up policies so that users can install a
particular software?
