| Description | I feel using AJAX/Javascript progress bars to visually represent how far along in the installation / upgrade process we are would be more modern and user friendly than the current method of iframe refreshes / check boxes for individual files. We could perhaps have both, if listing individual files is important to us. But I'd advise against using refreshes and instead stick to Javascript/AJAX. Eg. AJAX would tell the browser which check boxes to check according to how far in the process we are. |

Additionally, these are standalone scripts which can't use our library code. So we'd need to embed large amounts of complex code in scripts that have to have as low a chance of failing as possible. It's much too risky.
