run a GP Modeling wizard in GPMC and verify first that the GPO is to be applied properly to that user. EDITed...since I missed the "users" part and thought you were wanting to apply to workstations.

no...you can do gpupdate /force. I didn't read it right that you were doing this to the user and not computer. Computer software GPOs apply at startup. That's why I edited out my comment. Also, if it is USER based, I'm pretty sure the user logging in needs the rights to install software on that computer.

Yes Ganesh, you will have to provide the user administrator rights. To avoid this situation you need to change from "User Configuration" to "Computer Configuration" and apply to computers instead users.
If you are applying this to Windows XP computer it may work by adding the user to the Power Users group, but that depends on the software installer, if involves a driver installation will fail because of the need of elevated rights.
From my experience with Windows 7 it work if the user is local administrator of the PC, if not you have to deploy through Computer Configuration instead.

Make sure that you link your GPO to the right OU (Computers must be inside! not users). "EXE-to-MSI" didn't work for me in the past, but I guess you downloaded the 7-zip MSI from the official site. You can also try the command "gpresult /h report.htm" and check the report.htm file and see what was applied to the computer and look for errors.
