OK, I'll bite the bait: It would be difficult if not impossible to make the official Apple Installer.app behave in accordance with your spec.
Run that one up the flagpole and see how it goes.
I'll leave it up to other people to discuss third-party installer applications. I don't use them.
My off-the-cuff guess as to how to achieve the result using Mac-standard tools would be to write a program that provides the kind of user experience you specify, then calls the unix command "installer" to do the actual installation.
IT WOULD BE A NON-TRIVIAL PROGRAM, since it would involve hooking up password authorization, gathering progress information, setting up the Unix launch environment so that existing packages get the environment variables they expect, etc.
Would end users tolerate such a thing? I probably should not comment. _______________________________________________
