How can I get a progress bar and desktop icon while deploying with Squirrel for Windows

I use squirrel for Windows  for the  deployment of my c# application

So  far the deployment itself works but i need 2 functionalities in squirrel

1. When installing from the msi file , there is no progress bar nor

    a message of when installation has finished

2. My Application icon shows with the application in its installed folder whereas

    I want it on the desktop. Of course i can drag it to the desktop but i would rather

   it is placed on the desktop as part of deployment  to signify end of installation.

Can any one who has handled these 2 issues  please point me in the right direct

or better still provide a fiddle if possible

Thanks
