No ProjectInfo.xml files were found error from command prompt using MSBuild SonarQube Runner v1.0

问题

I'm trying out SonarQube using the new MSBuild SonarQube Runner v1.0.

The Pre-processing works fine

E:\sonarQube\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner-1.0>MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin /k:"MyKey" /n:"MyProject" /v:"1.0"
.......
Process returned exit code 0
Pre-processing succeeded.

Then MSBuild works

E:\sonarQube\WebApplication2013>msbuild
Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 4.0.30319.34209
[Microsoft .NET Framework, version 4.0.30319.34209]

Build succeeded.

While end command following error gets generated

As pointed out by duncanpMS's comment, you need to run all the 3 commands from the folder of the project you want to analyze.

Here is how:

1. cd E:\sonarQube\WebApplication2013
2. E:\sonarQube\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner-1.0\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin /k:"MyKey" /n:"MyProject" /v:"1.0"
3. msbuild /t:rebuild
4. E:\sonarQube\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner-1.0\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end

You can add E:\sonarQube\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner-1.0 to your %PATH% environment variable so that you can simply type MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe instead of the full path from the command line when you analyze projects.

You need msbuild version 12 or version 14. If you have VS2013 , Msbuild version 12 comes with it. If you have VS2015, Msbuild version 14 comes with it.

If you don't have , download Microsoft Build Tools 2013 or 2015.

Run Msbuild -version to verify the version before running the 3 commands sequentially in the solution folder.
