The best, but hardest, way is via Software Restriction Policies. The goal of Software Restriction Policies is to have you specifically dictate what can and cannot run. In other words, you can specify that users can't even run the installation utility to software applications unless you've approved it. Be sure to check out Software Restriction Policies. They're great!
