After uninstalling P3d V4 - Unable to build database for P3d V3

I have uninstalled - searched registry - deleted directories - re-booted - can't find the file holding Plan G 'PATH settings'

Load Plan G 3.2.2 (latest) and try to build P3d V3 (THREE) database.  Choose e:\Prepar3d v3\prepar3d.exe & c:\........\prepar3d v3\scenery.cfg

But the program skips by everything - Error Log Text says "incorrect path "prepar3d v4"  (it was uninstalled)

Somewhere the PATH is written - and I can't find the file to (either) remove it or edit it.

Appreciate any help

Thanks

Thank you Tim.

To be sure.......I deleted "Log.txt" and re-did the search for Airports, selecting Prepar3d V3 directory, and Scenery.cfg directory
Here's a fresh copy of LOG.TXT

Appreciate the assistance

You need to set the P3D Exe Path in Database Build Options. That should override any value that it's getting from the registry.

There are 3 ways to get to that setting:
* Data Tab -> Options Button
* Data Tab -> Build Navigation Database -> Settings
* File -> Options -> Locations

Sorry, Tim........none of those worked (That's basically what I've been doing "over & over")
However......I did ANOTHER search of the REGISTRY, and located 1 single item with Prepar3d V4 (don't know how I missed it last time(s))
And it had the PATH listed as a value  (Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d V4)
.
Removed the entire KEY, and PLAN G is reading all my airports in Prepar3d V3 !!
.
Thanks for your time

If you had the P3dv3 folder in the Exe Path (unfortunately the log doesn't explicitly show that), and it still picked up the v4 path from the registry, that sounds like a bug. I shall investigate it. (the explicit path "should" override everything).
