With a relocatable package, you can.


Unfortunately packages that are relocatable still try to put the receipt in /Library/Receipts, and they therefore fail on any non-administrator account.


The problem is not the location of the install, but only the attempt to put the receipt in /Library/Receipts. 

Hmm, it works fine on my Mac (I'm using Jaguar for this test).

Sample package:

When I change the default location to ~/, the file is correctly installed.
