What type of authentication does your installer package prompt the user for?
If you're installing anything outside of the current user's home directory, I suspect you would need elevated privileges - especially on newer versions of OS X.
I would like to install files to the users home directory. So whatever authorization is required to make that possible.
Installing into the current user's home directory does not require any additional permissions. If you desire to place files anywhere else, however, then you need elevated permissions.
When we test our installer packages, we test them in both admin and non-admin accounts. Non-admin accounts have a habit of bringing to light permission problems.
If you run your installer in a non-admin account, does the error message change?
