Nice installation status
This is a nice way to show the installation process (if your installer installs a lot of files and takes ages)
You need to be using ModernUI...
!insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "Installation Status: Extracting files" "Program dll's"
You can put them throughout your sections. You can use it wherever you, and it will change the text and subtext on the top of the installer window to what you specify.
I've got it displaying compiling status for my Quake2 map-compiler program.
