I used DialogBoxParam to create the window instead of "CreateWindowEX" becuase I have been able to get a bitmap on the window with ease.

any examples of progress bars for this type of window ?

You need to perform the installation itself on a different thread.
That other thread must PostMessage() information about the percentage
of task to the main thread (your dialog). In response to that message
the progress bar is set to the value posted with the message.
Also, with multithreaded approach -- user will be able to 'Cancel' the process.
