I have created a tool for my functionalities using powershell, i want to update few of my files in my machine locally before launching my tool. i have added below message box to display that files are getting updated loacally. when i click on my tool the below messages should display dynamicaly in the message box.

 [system.windows.forms.messagebox]::show("updating file1", "message") 
 [system.windows.forms.messagebox]::show("updating file2", "message") 
 [system.windows.forms.messagebox]::show("updating file3", "message") 
 [system.windows.forms.messagebox]::show("updating file4", "message")

I think you are looking for the Notify option in Powershell forms. Use the below code for it . 

   [void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")

$objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon 

$objNotifyIcon.Icon = "C:\Scripts\Forms\Folder.ico"
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = "Error" 
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "A file needed to complete the operation could not be found." 
$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "File Not Found"

$objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True 
$objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(10000)

Let me know if it works or require more details on this.

Something like this?

$message = @("updating file1")
$message+="updating file 2"
[system.windows.forms.messagebox]::show(($message -join "`n"), "message")
