I am developing a WIX Installer for an application. When I click on the Install button, next UI is coming which is a progress bar UI. The issues is the time it takes to start the status messages to the users before UAC popup clicked yes.

Is there any way to show wait message before this delayed UAC popup to the user?

Thanks, Sandeep

The UAC popup is generated by the Windows system code. You have no control over it in the installer itself.

Even if you did, would it reallly be worth your time to solve that problem?

Your installer gets run once. Every other installer experiences the same delay. Having that delay doesn't cause the user to think poorly of your product (if anything it causes the user to think poorly of Windows).
