How come Flash CS3 Installer is over 400 MB, when Flash 8 was only 110 MB??

One of the big contributors is the .PSD import... it essentially contains the Photoshop rendering engine. Color management, type libraries, things like that were other big additions.

That said, I'm in a meeting right now where we're talking about improving the installation experience for the next generation... the installation *is* pretty big right now, and we're looking for ways to provide similar capabilities at lower cost in the future.
