Is FxCop Dead? Can it be used with VS2015?

I was browsing through Stack Overflow and Google for information about automatic coding style practice tools and found FxCop.

But I haven't found recent articles from Microsoft about FxCop. So, I was wondering if FxCop is dead.

Can FxCop be used with Visual Studio 2015? Will it work for enforcing C# design guidelines?

Make a sensibly named folder for the FxCop setup file to go into, for example, create a folder called C:\Downloads\Microsoft\FxCop\Setup. 13. Right-click on the “WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe + gobbledygook” file and select Copy. Copy the“WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe + Guid” file into C:\Downloads\Microsoft\FxCop\Setup folder.

FxCop functionality is integrated into Visual Studio 2012 and later versions with VS Code analysis. It covers all FxCop functionality with better integration.
