Can anyone help me create a progress bar in powershell while the script is running?

Question

I've already tested Write-Progress, and when I put it multiple times along with a "Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 250" it seems to work perfectly, but when I try to implement it in my script, where I put the percentage in each script step, it doesn't work . Only the first bar appears but it doesn't evolve to 100%. I've been trying to get this to work for a few days now (because in the end I use ps2exe so I'll have visible feedback on what's being done behind the scenes) and I'm not succeeding.

Here is my code:

# Here is defined the variable that stores the hostname of the user through a pipeline to a Visual Basic window, note, if you put any information after the quotes after the "Audit Report" it will become a suggestion message
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.VisualBasic
$ComputerHost = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox("Enter the Hostname of the machine", "Audit Report")
If ($ComputerHost -eq "")
{
    break
}

Write-Progress -Activity "Starting data capture" -PercentComplete 10
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 250

#Performing validation if the equipment is on the network, if so, the script will continue, otherwise, it will be canceled informing that the equipment has insufficient requirements for the operation.
$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
 $TestComputerHost = Test-Connection $ComputerHost -Count 1 -InformationAction Continue -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
If (($TestComputerHost -ne "") -or ($TestComputerHost -ne $null))
{}
Else {
    [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::MsgBox("ERROR: Computer $ComputerHost not responding on network.", "OKOnly,SystemModal,Critical", "Error")
    break
}

Write-Progress -Activity "Starting data capture" -PercentComplete 15
Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 250

$TestComputerHost = Test-NetConnection $ComputerHost -Port 5985 -InformationLevel Quiet -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
If ($TestComputerHost -ne "False"){
    [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::MsgBox("WARNING: Computer $ComputerHost is responding on the network but has not identified remote management enabled, some data may be incomplete!", "OKOnly,SystemModal,Exclamation", "Warning")
}
