WaitOnDialog
This thing seems to update the dialog for the user. Is there another type of object that can be used that does the same thing except it doesn't return a value or wait for user input?

For InstallScript projects, there's the miniature SdShowMsg dialog box; or else possibly the combo Enable(STATUSEX) + SetStatusWindow + (sometimes) StatusUpdate...

Thanks Robert while that suggestion didn't work, I was able to find a resource which does exactly what I need.
This script creates a window and sends messages to it and creates a progress with increments at amounts that I specify.
I need to see how this thing works in a loop, but damn dude I can now finalize my method in C# and pass status updates and percentage in a way that I envisioned.
It is brilliant! Simply Brilliant!
Reference to what I mean:

One thing that wasn't in there was to call Disable(STATUS); at the end to release the pop up.

As an update, I've multithreaded my installer and I was successfully able to pass back status updates along with percentage updates back to the installer without a note of hanging or not responding issues.
This progress bar works like a charm!
