Built-in Progress Bar for non-install section?

[Jamyn]

I have seen a few plugins that do banner-style or popup progress bars. Is there anything that mimics the install progress bar for Sections? By this I mean, the progress bar for install sections is built into the page itself.

I would like to call a pre-install page that has a progress bar; it's not actually installing anything, but instead checking for/downloading updates. Since this section is not inside the Section area, I can't utilize the standard progress bar.

MSIBanner seems to be a pop-up. :\ Same thing for the one built into InetLoad (It looks like you can have InetLoad's banner built into a display page, but that page must be inside the "install files" section).

I'll keep digging around, but hopefully someone's seen something I've missed
