Configure progress bar for total progress
I would like to have a progress bar that shows how far the install has come in total. As of now, the progress bar starts over at zero and tries to get to 100 for every action executed during install.
Is this configurable?

Service Start: Automatic (delayed)
Windows has the possibility to start the service with a delay.
I didn't find the to select Automatic (delayed) from the AI 14.3 Services tab.
We have to set our service to delayed, only if SQL Server is on localhost. Can we touch some property for this?

Chinese characters
AI 13.8.1, Enterprise project that started back in AI 10.x.
I see Chinese(?) characters in the MSI unpack dialog.
Why is that and how to fix?
