When trying to install the two Stonehenge scenerys I got the message "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel."


I'm sure the phoenix team will sort it out soon but for those that cannot wait here is how I got it to work.

first delete your temp files in C:\Documents and Settings\your_name\Local Settings\Temp

if you cannot see these folders then enable "show hidden files & folders" in Tools - Folder_options - View

then run the installer i.e. phoenixRC_stonehenge.exe

when you get the above error do not press OK. Instead have a look in C:\Documents and Settings\your_name\Local Settings\Temp and you will see a folder. In that folder there will be a file called PhoenixRC - Stonehenge scenery.msi

copy that .msi file somewhere
open a command prompt, CD to where you copied the .msi file and run the following command :-

msiexec /a "PhoenixRC - Stonehenge scenery.msi"

The installer will run, click next
It will then ask you for a network location.
For a standard installation type in C:\

this will install the scenery files to C:\Program Files\PhoenixRC\resources\environments.

now repeat above for phoenixRC_stonehengeNear.exe

Hope this helps.

No problem here installing both the 600N Pro and the two new sceneries. Maybe they got the download fixed.

I put it on mine and didn't see a problem.

Me too... No problems.. pity I can't fly there as i only live 20 miles from there anyway....The phoenix team are based where I live and most of the scenery is local to me.. the flying field is where I fly every weekend

Can you please have them cut that damn tree down? I run into it practicing inverted backwards quite a bit!

That field strikes a remarkable resemblance to the field where I fly, so I almost feel right at home flying simulated helis there.
