| An application can certainly install a package without notifying the user -- it would just call:
/usr/sbin/installer -pkg foo.pkg -target CurrentUserHomeDirectory
Note that:
1) It can't install to privileged/global locations without asking for admin credentials. It can install to the user's home directory (assuming the package supports this).
2) This reeks of malware. I would be very distrustful of an application (and its vendor) that did such a thing.

Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
