Answer 1

It looks like your "G4ENSDFSTATEDATA" environmental variable is pointing to the wrong data set. Edit this variable to point to G4ENSDFSTATE2.2 location (i.e. D:\GEANT4\share\Geant4-10.5.1\data\G4ENSDFSTATE2.2 instead of D:\GEANT4\share\Geant4-10.5.1\data\G4PARTICLEXS1.1) and should work fine for that one. Double check your other environmental variables are correct also. Looks like G4ABLADATA should be G4ABLA3.1 for example.

Here is the list of all variables from the getting started manual (http://geant4-userdoc.web.cern.ch/geant4-userdoc/UsersGuides/InstallationGuide/html/postinstall.html):

Good luck!
