The suggestions are for the WPKG startup wait-while-stuff-is-installed-dialog. The configuration GUI is less interesting, IMHO, as users never see it anyway. o The dialog is too wide for low screen resolutions. From time to time, Windows Setup fails to install proper display drivers here, and runs in 640x480, in which resolution the dialog is too wide. Perhaps the dialog could be of the same size as the domain logn dialog boxes (where Windows informs about "Applying user settings" and such). They're aesthetically pleasing and familiar. o The progress bar should follow the actual progress, not tag along without purpose and intent (-: The text reports which package of how many is being processed - the progress bar should reflect this. Granted, it won't be accurate for timing purposes, since some packages require vastly more time that others, but it would still be informational. (If one think there should be some kind of I-haven't-crashed-just-being-slow-feedback (which is what the current progress bar really is), some other visual element could provide this.) o Two alternating texts is really not a very good way of informing users. It can of course be worked around by specifying the same text, but IMHO the feature is a bug in itself. Allocate a larger text area instead, or provide an expandable "more information"-field.
