If the file is George Davidson's AGN2GENX then it's on Sheps Shed:
http://www.shepsshed.com/AGN2GENX.zip
This places AGN files in the appropriate folders rather than being an AIO
installer though.

I have both the FS9 and FSX Photo scenery as AIO files.
No, it is not a quick process to create, which is why I keep a backup copy
of each. The theory is that all the files are now in sequence, and much
quicker to load, instead of having to hunt through the various folders. And
yes I have the file to recreate the original folders for the FSX Horizon
Photo scenery.
Freelists has banned the zip file I sent. Anyone wants it, I will have to
directly mail.
