Is there a free / open source version of the wget-like windows program with graphical promotion?

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

I could just use wget, but having an open console to make progress can be very confusing for non-technical people. Instead, I looked for a program that works the same as wget, but shows its progress in a very simple window with the file name and progress.

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

I would even be interested in an existing program that almost does this, which I could recompile to add everything I need. Since this is in the installer, it cannot depend on .NET or anything else that requires installation to work.

Does anyone know about such a program?

Since I did not find such a program, I wrote it. I used the latest version of libcurl available for Windows.

The code is not beautiful, and the program is not fully functional, but it does what I need for this: loading from http: // while displaying a simple, attractive window.

The title bar is customizable on the command line, and I also intend to allow window positioning.
