V3.1.2 Does not complete database build in Windows 10

When I build the navigation database of V3.1.2 for X-Plane 10 (latest version) it will get stuck at around 25%. After "force closing" the dialog I can click on and display X-Plane data but all the airports have hardly any information and no airport maps. I even tried a previous version of Plane G that I previously used on another computer but I had the same problem. I have 8GB of RAM and pretty much a "Clean PC". I noticed in the log file (attached) that there is a lot of duplicate airports but I do not know where to find them so that I can remove them. Can this be the reason for my problem?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I have renamed my "Custom Scenery" "Custom Data" and "Extra Aircraft" folders to get rid of the "Duplicate Airport errors but that did not work either. I also disabled my anti virus and firewall and ran it with Windows 7 compatibility but none of this solved the problem either.

OK I solved my problem by replacing the following files with files I downloaded way back:
  (1) The file "apt.dat" to the "X-System | Resources | default scenery | default apt dat | Earth Nav Data" folder.
  (2) "earth_astro.dat", "earth_awy.dat", "earth_fix.dat" and "earth_nav.dat" to the "X-System | Resources | default data" folder.

You can get the files at http://data.x-plane.com/get_data.html

Hope this helps someone else.

Use the 3.1.3 beta, it fixes issues with X-Plane's data update. See the sticky at the top of this board.
