Since 6.1, MSI embeds an installer for KB2999226 (bug 108580; [1]). It is installed in the deferred stage of installation (after admin credentials are requested), and might take a significant time. But at that stage, the progress dialog doesn't show a status message, giving no hint to user about what is being actually done (see screenshot).

Installer should show a descriptive message during this phase, like "Installing KB2999226".
