My Jenkins job is failing with below error logs. Please suggest.

Which code analysis tool has failed? SonarCube? – KimKulling Mar 13 '17 at 13:19 — KimKulling, Mar 13 '17 at 13:19
I am not sure about that. I feel its SonarQube – Kalyan Bhave Mar 13 '17 at 13:23 — Kalyan Bhave, Mar 13 '17 at 13:23

From what I can see on your screenshot you need to specify the path to your favorite code analysis tool explicitely in your msbuild-call ( like c.\program files\sonacube ... ) or by addind the path to it to your PATH environment-variable ( see How to add path to PATH-env-var )

And you should make sure that all dependecies from VS-FXCop could be located and resolved. Best way to do so is to call the visual studio var bat ( on my installation it can be located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat for VS2015 ). Please make sure that you call the right script. If you have copied the FxCop stuff from a different visual studio installation use this script. If you have installed it from your redistributable make sure that you have copied all dependencies as well.

Hard without the complete raw log. It would be useful if you can upload it somehow. – KimKulling Mar 13 '17 at 14:44
