Hum, I understand this is not very nice for you, but:

1. using messages inside the UI would mean a rather important
   design change

2. many apps use popup windows for questions/warnings/etc, they
   are generally considered as "good UI design"

Changing the UI to that extend is pretty intrusive I think. The
current UI is supposed to be better than a wizard, especially the
treeview and information views would not fit very well in a
wizard in my opinion..
