There are a couple of issues here the standard macintosh application
installer a program called package Manager does indeed provide a
visual indicator of progress. And it might well be reachable by
VoiceOver which should indicate what percentage the indicator is at.
What should happen is that if the suer has VoiceOver enable then it
should announce the percentage without user interaction.
The other issue is that there are several other installer programs
that developers might use other than Package Manager as well.

Hello, I have writtten to Apple with suggestions in future releases
of their operating systems, to incorporate progress indicators when
installing programs so that we can know how far along our
installations are, similar to what they do with their updates. I
find that some programs are easier than others to install; whether
it has to do with Apple scripts, I don't know, but it would be, for
me personally, very helpful. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
