Why? If you don't have admin privileges just drop the app into a
private application folder.
I will dare to finally add that any application drag and dropped in
the /Applications folder is set with the wrong permissions and/or
owners.

I really hate installers. You never know what they are doing. I'll take
drag & drop installation over an installer any time. That's what's
Apple recommends too, by the way:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/
OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGFirstImpressions/chapter_6_section_3.html
"Installing your software is the first task users must accomplish
before they can use your application, and you should ensure that it is
a quick and painless experience. The best method is a simple drag
install: The user drags an icon or a folder from your CD, for example,
to a chosen destination on another disk."
bye. Andreas.
