lil754boy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I want to display a message on the screen while a executable, installation of an application, is running. EX. While installing Office 2010, I want a message on the screen to display, "Please be patient and do not reboot, aplication installation in progress." Should I be looking at some other function other than MSGBOX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
