Before you launch the CA you could display a non-modal dialog.

In Microsoft's Windows Installer documentation search for "SpawnWaitDialog" ControlEvent. There's also an example on this topic in the docu.

If your CA is executed in the Execute sequences, consider updating the action text and progress bar. See MsiProcessMessage.
This method respects the UI level, where showing your own progress dialog need to take the current UI level in consideration.
