Description

On occasion package installation can take a long time, a progress bar could remove the question of whether or not the chocolatey install is in the process of failing or just taking a long time.

One such example is the case of a large zip file containing numerous files or a large file, and being installed via Install-ChocolateyZipPackage

Another example would be the capturing of a more traditional exe install that already takes a non-trivial amount of time to install.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Install-ChocolateyZipPackage entry point and the handling of long-running executable installations. Determine how progress could be exposed for both large ZIP extraction and traditional installers, then define tests or observable completion criteria for reporting progress without treating a slow install as a failure.
