There's a bunch of other reasons why "install XYZ when detecting ABC" is a really bad idea (useless prompts asking "ABC was detected but you need XYZ to drive it" or "to install XYZ enter the ROOT password"). Again, I urge you to examine a non-OEM version of Windows.
That was always how I would assume it would work. Of course it shouldn't install software without asking the user first. A pop-up saying 'you should probably install package XYZ to use your ABC' is clearly the only sensible way to do it.
