Display Mounting of Image on Mac

(imported topic written by mPenuel91)

Hi, I am new to Macs and have been tasked to deploy Office 2011 to a group of them. I used the Mac SW distribution wizard to package up the .dmg file I obtained and it seems to run fine if I deploy it to a Mac however I would like for it to display some sort of progress bar during the image mounting process. The actionscript generated by the Mac SW distribution wizard is below, what can I change in order for it to display “built-in” progress bar displayed when otherwise mounting any image on a Mac? (Please excuse my lack of knowledge with the Mac OS, if you need other info let me know and I’ll provide it)

After I read this again I think I need to summarize a little better. When I deploy this it mounts the image and runs the installation all behind the scenes. I would like for it to mount the image with a progress bar (or some sort of progress indicator) displayed to the user, the install can still be completely silent.

With the size of the image and installation there is a high probablity of it seeming (to the end user) like nothing is happening.
