A messagebox does not make sense, the user can just close it.

You can use DetailPrint or a banner plugin...

Why? The install process should be as automatic as possible. If you put a message box in, what would happen when the user clicks 'Ok'?

Background processes are just that, they generally don't need user input. Using 'silent' mode or similar makes the process automatic.

MessageBox is modal dialog which means everything is stopped and waits for user reaction.
So it is useless to show messagebox before some process is started as user need s to click OK to start the ExecWait ....
