Administrators.

The Power Users group only has access to start/stop existing services, but explicitly can not install new services.

It's worth noting that this behaviour can be changed in W2K3 SP1 and newer OS's. See my answer here for some details: serverfault.com/questions/37721/… – Evan Anderson Oct 7 '09 at 4:47
