Answer 1

The errors reported at the end of a SonarQube report are sometimes less helpful than the errors when you begin.

Eg when I got this error, scrolling to the top of the log showed that I wasn't correctly setting the sonar.projectKey value, but this message the OP shared is still what showed up at the end.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. You need find correct MSBuild.exe.

I have several in c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\... and also in c:\Program Files (x86) For my project in Visual Studio 2017 with .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1 the correct MSBuild.exe is:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\amd64\MSBuild.exe"  /t:Rebuild

For the Enterpsie version is should be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild" /t:Rebuild
