Help with installations

Just doing some brain picking here... I'm wanting to write an application that keeps people from installing software on a machine.

How can I use vb to monitor whats being installed?

Thanks

Though one! ;)
You could setup a monitor, that loops the TaskManager every 1 milisec. or so, to see if the files install.exe, setup.exe etc. is in the list, and then stop it.

Hope this helps! :)

Or you could use policies.
It would be easy with NT, just dont give the users the admin password.
With 9x, you'd have to setup a policy on your PDC.
