Hi Tiemo,
I assume your installer has been signed. Installer Maker's Help section
is far from complete, but there is a suggestion there about starting the
app with admin rights. You might try that.

The user probably has their security settings set to the default, which
disallows installation except from the Mac App Store. The second level of
security allows third party installations but only if they are code signed. The
third level allows anything.
You can tell the user to change the setting to allow installation from
anywhere,. For a novice user this can compromise the security of the machine,
so they may want to set it back to the default after installation.

Hi Jacque,
thanks for your comments. That is funny, because I am using Mark
Schonewilles Installer Maker since years without any problems and also
with
this product it installs my LC prog as expected on all of my clients
Macs
from OS X 10.5 to 10.10. This is the only one (on 10.9.5), where this
phenomenon happened, so I think there must be something being messed up
on
the machine.

My question to the Mac guys: What is the difference concerning
writing
rights when the same user creates manually folders and files or lets
an installer do that for him? Is there on Mac something similar as on
Windows like "run as Admin" to try to lift the user rights? Or is
here
something completely messed up? I have never experienced this before.
It is part of the Mac OS sandboxing, which prevents software from
writing
files to locations outside of its own folders. This prevents malware
from
writing to disk in areas it does not control.
Except for certain drivers and extensions, OS X does not use
installers, and
users do not expect one. The user simply drags the app bundle to the
applications folder. You can zip the app if you like, and the user can
unzip
it and drag it into the folder. Or commonly apps ship in dmg files (a
virtual device image.) These are easy to create with various Mac
utilities
such as Drop DMG. Most users are familiar with dmg files.
