No progress bar during download.

I developed a Windows application that I intend to market.
I created a web page with Expressions Web (replaced Front Page).
I have a button labeled "Download 30 Day Free Trial" which I linked to MyApp.zip.
It downloads the zip file, but, there is no indication that it is doing anything.
There is no progress bar.

Re: No progress bar during download.

If you would like to see the problem,
  go to OrthoLabRx.Net (no logon or password is required)
  click on "Download 30 Day Free Trial"
  it downloads the Setup.exe file and does display a progress bar
  then it downloads the OrthoLabRx.msi file but no progress bar is displayed
  the .msi file is large, so the computer appears to be doing nothing for several minutes!

The app was developed using Visual Studio 2005 Professional and the installer provided therein.
I am running Internet Explorer 7.

Re: No progress bar during download.

I found out that if I minimize Internet Explorer, that there is a progress bar. It is just that it is running behind the scenes in the background and cannot be seen unless you minimize.
