Mike, Can the flash presentation be broken down into segments? Part 1: Installation (or whatever) Part 2: Quick Start Guide etc...
If there are multiple parts, the segments will load more quickly without causing too long of a pause before gratification. Users can more easily refer to various segments, too.

This was the obvious flaw in their plan that was so close to me i couldnt see it. We're going to have to re-do it anyway, because a 12MB download isnt really practical. What's the best way to do these things nowdays? The best way to record a 'click this button, enter your purchase order number here, click this choice, select a colour from here, click that button ..." kind of demonstration?
