The Setup Launcher Main/Progress Dialog

Fig. 1.1.1.2.1.1.0.201

With the sole exception of when the setup launcher is run with the "?" command line switch, the Main/Progress Dialog is the only dialog that is always displayed, irrespective of whether an installation or some other task (e.g. a download) is performed. However, in some cases, due to the performance of present day computers and high speed, Internet connections, it may only be displayed for a fraction of a second.

The Main/Progress Dialog provides basic information on the nature of the application, the currently executed task/action, and the extent to which this has been completed. It also provides the means to cancel/abort the currently executed task(s) and terminate the process that displayed it.

It can be easily identified by its Progress Bar and the Setup Launcher Icon.
