How can I do advanced troubleshooting on TNS-12560?

I am down the rabbit hole on TNS-12560.
I am working on a windows 7 computer. I have X86 & X64 versions of Oracle clients installed. The DB(s) are on remote computers. I can use TNSPING, SQLPLUS, SQLDEVELOPER to get to the DBs using the various TNSNAMES.ORA files and have no problems.
I am working on an X86 VB.NET program using VS2008 (also tried a different program using VS2010 with similar results). I am using Oracle.DataAccess.dll X86 in my project. The configuration in VS2008 is X86, I have changed my path on the system to have the X86 oracle path first.
When I run TNSPING it points to the X86 path's SQLNET.ORA. When I try to login to the DB I get the following in my SQLNET.LOG file;
TNS-12560: Message 12560 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
ns secondary err code: 0
nt main err code: 530
TNS-00530: Message 530 not found; No message file for product=NETWORK, facility=TNS
nt secondary err code: 38
nt OS err code: 0
I turned on tracing and in the trace file I notice that it references one of the other (X64) client home folders;
2017-01-11 13:25:36.744480 : Attempted load of system pfile source C:\app\paul\product\11.2.0\client_2\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
2017-01-11 13:25:36.744535 : Parameter source loaded successfully
Where TNSPING uses the x86 folder;
C:\>tnsping XXXX
TNS Ping Utility for 32-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production on 11-JAN-2
017 12:59:33
Copyright (c) 1997, 2010, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Used parameter files:
C:\app\paul\product\11.2.0\client_x86\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
This leads me to believe that it is trying to mix X86 & X64 components, but I do not know what controls where it looks for the path.
The only other bit of error stuff from the trace that I do not know how to interpret is;
2017-01-11 13:25:36.760176 : nserror:nsres: id=0, op=65, ns=12560, ns2=0; nt[0]=530, nt[1]=38, nt[2]=0; ora[0]=0, ora[1]=0, ora[2]=0
2017-01-11 13:25:36.760189 : nsopen:unable to open transport
So, I am down the rabbit hole, and need some help in finding a map to get out. Anyone with pointers, will be rewarded "bigly" (to coin a phrase).

Error migrating from GeneXus 9 to GeneXus Evo 2 U5

I'm migrating a KB from GeneXus 9 to GeneXus Evo 2 U5. I'm using .Net and SQL Server, and followed the steps that are mentioned in GXTechnical but I have the following error:

What should I do to solve this problem?
Try these steps:
In GeneXus, go to Tools -> Explore Knowledgebase Directory
Delete all *.ari, *.0?? files
In GeneXus, go to Tools -> Explore Target Environment Directory
Delete that folder
In GeneXus, go to Build -> Rebuild All
If you keep having the same error, look at the entire output; there may be other errors before that one. If not, contact the GeneXus support team. If yes, search in google or search.genexus.com for solutions of that new errors.

How do I build TrueCrypt on Windows?

I'm trying to compile TrueCrypt. I am using the instructions from https://github.com/syglug/truecrypt.
I set the 3 environment variables (pkcs,ddk,MSVC16_ROOT) and opened the project in msvc2008. This wasn't in the instructions but I needed NASM to be installed so I installed it and put NASM in the PATH. Now when I build I get the below. It juts ends even though the IDE has the cancel build selectable the compiler isn't doing anything and the system idles.
Crypto.lib does exist after this step

What's wrong here? How do I build TrueCrypt? I'm running Windows 7 64bits
I could successfully build all projects from https://github.com/syglug/truecrypt. I followed mostly the instructions from readme.txt. Because the instruction are not detailed enough I describe below all steps which I did. If you will have some additional questions to some steps I'll include additional details.
I used Visual Studio 2008 installed on Windows 7 X64. If needed I could reproduce the same with Visual Studio 2010 or 2012.
I downloaded from MSDN (I have subscription) Visual C++ 1.52: en_vc152.exe. It's self extracted EXE file. To hold Paths mostly short and have no spaces in the directory names I extracted MSVC15 directly in C:\. So I had for example old binaries of 16-bit VC compiler in C:\MSVC15\BIN.
I placed all files downloaded from ftp://ftp.rsasecurity.com/pub/pkcs/pkcs-11/v2-20 in C:\PKCS-11 directory. The file C:\PKCS-11\pkcs11.h like all dependent files will be in the same directory C:\PKCS-11
I downloaded the current version 2.10.05 of NASM from http://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.10.05/. I extracted nasm-2.10.05-win32.zip in C:\nasm-2.10.05 directory. So that nasm.exe could be found in C:\nasm-2.10.05.
I downloaded Binaries of Gzip for Windows. I extracted gzip-1.3.12-1-bin.zip to C:\gzip-1.3.12-1-bin. So that C:\gzip-1.3.12-1-bin\bin contains gzip.exe.
I had already installed Windows DDK in directory C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1 before.
I downloaded truecrypt-master.zip from https://github.com/syglug/truecrypt. I extracted it in C:\truecrypt-master directory. So that Crypto.vcproj can be found in C:\truecrypt-master\Crypto directory.
Because I don't like to modify the global environment variables I created the following batch file:
SET MSVC16_ROOT=C:\MSVC15
SET PKCS11_INC=C:\PKCS-11
PATH=C:\nasm-2.10.05;C:\gzip-1.3.12-1-bin\bin;%PATH%
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe"
In the last line of the batch file Visual Studio 2008 will be started (devenv.exe). It inherits all environment variables set in CMD.EXE (the parent process which started Visual Studio 2008).
The solution file 'TrueCrypt.sln' described in the readme is not included in the sources found on github. So I opened every Project file which I found in subdirectories of C:\truecrypt-master and compiled it. It was Crypto.vcproj (from C:\truecrypt-master\Crypto), Boot.vcproj (from C:\truecrypt-master\Boot\Windows), Driver.vcproj (from C:\truecrypt-master\Driver), Format.vcproj (from C:\truecrypt-master\Format) and Mount.vcproj (from C:\truecrypt-master\Mount).
I could successfully compile all the projects. The only small problems were during building of Format.vcproj and Mount.sln. The files Format.tlb and Mount.tlb exists in subdirectories. So I fixed the lines where TLB files are referenced in C:\truecrypt-master\Format\Format.rc and C:\truecrypt-master\Mount\Mount.rc to
IDR_FORMAT_TLB TYPELIB ".\\Format\\Format.tlb"
and
IDR_MOUNT_TLB TYPELIB ".\\Mount\\Mount.tlb"
I'll post later the corresponded fixes to https://github.com/syglug/truecrypt in form of Pull Request.
UPDATED: One have to change in the file BuildDriver.cmd the line
set TC_BUILD_ARCH=x64 WNET
to
set TC_BUILD_ARCH=x64
to be able to build Driver.
Additionally one should build lines uses correct pathes like "$(SolutionDir)..\Crypto" and "$(SolutionDir)..\Common" (see nmake options in Visual Studio). If one use TrueCrypt.sln from C:\TrueCrypt7.1a it's not needed.
UPDATED 2: After you compiled the project you will see in C:\TrueCrypt7.1a\Release\Setup Files or in C:\truecrypt-master\Release\Setup Files the files
The file TrueCrypt Setup.exe exists only in C:\TrueCrypt7.1a (downloaded from the link www.truecrypt.org which you posted in the comment later). As I mentioned in the comment before you need configure Visual Studio 2008 to use Windows SDK 7 instead of default 6.0a to be able successfully to compile Setup project.
The drivers which will be compiled are not digitaly signed with Microsoft signature. So the drivers will be not trusted by Windows 7 by default. So to verify that the driver work you have to press F8 during boot of the computer and disable driver signature:
After that you will be able to execute TrueCrypt.exe (from C:\TrueCrypt7.1a\Release\Setup Files directory for example). You will get warning
but the TrueCrypt.exe will do work and you will see
Looks like you have modified the PATH environment variable and some folder path contains quotation ("") marks. Windows no longer needs quotes to avoid getting confused with spaces. Error PRJ0002 : Error result 255 returned from 'C:\Windows\SysWow64\cmd.exe'" goes away once you fix this.
For everyone who gets stuck in this PKEY_AppUserModel_ID problem: it works by defining the following in Setup.c before the first function():
EXTERN_C const PROPERTYKEY DECLSPEC_SELECTANY PKEY_AppUserModel_ID =
{ { 0x9F4C2855, 0x9F79, 0x4B39,
{ 0xA8, 0xD0, 0xE1, 0xD4, 0x2D, 0xE1, 0xD5, 0xF3, } }, 5 };
kind regards

I had a similar error. I found out that the destination path had too many characters and was too long. I fixed it by moving the whole project to my main drive (C:).
