Hey Bill.  You probably want to investigate the /usr/bin/hdiutil  
command line utility which can attach, mount, and verify disk images.   
I also recommend looking into the NSWorkspace API, specifically the - 
[NSWorkspace openFile: withApplication:] method which you'll find very  
useful for kicking off the Installer.

Good luck!
