Is there a free/open source wget-like Windows program with graphical progress?

Question

I am writing a WiX-based installer for our software. I need to download some non-trivial dependencies (like Sql Server Express 2008), then install them.

I could just use wget, but having the console open to show progress could be very confusing for non-technical people. Instead, I have been looking for a program that works just like wget, but shows its progress in a very simple window with the name of the file and the progress.

If I could show a small message that would be fantastic, but just having the GUI progress is the main thing.

I would even be interested in an existing program that almost does this, which I could recompile to add whatever I need. Since this is in an installer, it can't depend on .Net or anything else that needs installing to work.

Is anyone aware of such a program?

Answer 1

Why not to get wget sources and remove console output from there?
