Hi Robert,
Thanks for the quick response, I have a few more questions...
1) How can I associate different dialog panels for different product Action? Is is ever possible?
2) Is it possible to Associate different progress bars with different features in the same install sequence? if yes how? if no what is the altenative way for that

My problem scenario is like this:
I need to install some products before installing my main product...
My install sequence is like this

Main product
|
Feature 1
|
Feature 2
|
Main product

but in feature 1 and feature 2 I want to download some scripts at the install location and execute the same. now while these features get executed I want some dialog panels like progress bar or some status panels to be associated separately...
