Hello,

You can't because the MSI engine displays this progress dialog.

How to pass parameters to the MSI engine?

/quiet, Use this parameter can be done.

Quiet display option. The installer runs an installation without displaying a user interface. No prompts, messages, or dialog boxes are displayed to the user. The user cannot cancel the installation. Use the /norestart or /forcerestart standard command-line options to control reboots. If no reboot options are specified, the installer restarts the computer whenever necessary without displaying any prompt or warning to the user.
Examples:
msiexec /package Application.msi /quiet
Msiexec /uninstall Application.msi /quiet
Msiexec /update msipatch.msp /quiet
Msiexec /uninstall msipatch.msp /package Application.msi / quiet
Note The equivalent Windows Installer Command-Line Option is /qn.
