IE8 has a meaningless progress bar

Why add a progress bar animation if does not show any progress in the installation process?

This progress bar just goes from side to side until the installation ends.

If you don't have any info on how the installation progresses and you still want some animation, go ahead and use the silly files copy animation, or create something new.

I haven't noticed it. I guess I have low expectations from Microsoft.

You're not the only one to notice that, by the way:
