Hello,

We currently have Office 2021 Standard deployed on our workstations and would like to begin migrating to Microsoft Office 365, for which we have purchased licenses.

Installation with the basic package (slightly modified for our use by uninstalling and reinstalling PowerPoint and Visio) works well. However, I have a question: since installing such a package is very time-consuming, is it possible to implement a progress bar during the installation? For example, by providing a status in the self-service interface when clicking "Install"? Looking at the SetupHelpers documentation, I noticed the function `show_progress(self, show_box=False, msg='Loading...', progress=None, progress_max=None)`.

I tried using it in my code within the `install()` function of my package, specifying progress values, but without success. Does anyone have an example of how to use this function? Or perhaps a method to provide users with progress updates during the installation? The idea is to offer a self-service migration process so that our users can initiate the update according to their availability.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I'm reviving this thread. As another member mentioned before their message was deleted, I also tried modifying the configuration.xml file to display the GUI, but since the install() function of a WAPT package is called with the local administrator account on the machine, this method doesn't work.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
