Many of my projects are linear YouTube style software demos (not simulations) which are slide-based, not video. The progress bar is important for users to see where they are in the demo and it allows them to quickly seek forward and back to specific slides.
One refinement I would like to make to this request is the addition of visible sections
or 'chapters' on the progress bar similar to YouTube. Note that this is a feature already provided by Active Presenter, a competitor to Captivate. -

We use the seek/progress bar for quality assurance purposes while doing reviews with a client. Then, we add javascript to Captivate to disable the ability to move ahead, but you can still see where you're at in the lesson and move backwards in non quiz related content. This is critical for us.

Even in older versions I almost never used the progress bar because it is just confusing for any non-linear project. I designed workflows with shared actions which showed the real progress in %. Too bad that shared actions have been taken out because they were the biggest time saver ever.
