The services could be running on a 'headless" server or an unattended server so services are not allowed to have message boxes. Your service could post progress messages in a Database or XML file then a Winforms app or web Page could watch and display the messages.
The service cannot have a ui ever. A ui with a message box must be a separate program tightly couled to the services progress storage. Ideally the separate program would run on server or totally different box (so progress could be monitored from anywhere).
