SonarQube unrecognized command line argument c#

Question

I'm having trouble running a scann for my c# app, I'm trying to scan a simple console application. but everytime I run my analysis I get this:

16:00:04.919 16:00:04.919 Unrecognized command line argument: /t:Rebuild

So here's the complete command since the beginning:

PS C:\Users\danie\documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\ConsoleApplication1> C:\SonarQube-Scanner-for-MSBuild\SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"ConsoleApplication1" /n:"ConsoleApplication1"/v:"1.0"

16:13:17.069  Expecting at least the following command line argument:
- SonarQube project key
When connecting to a SonarQube server earlier than version 6.1, the following command line arguments are also required:
- SonarQube project name
- SonarQube project version
The full path to a settings file can also be supplied. If it is not supplied, the exe will attempt to locate a default settings file in the same directory as the SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild.

Use '/?' or '/h' to see the help message.

Any help fixing this will be appreciatted!

Thanks.

PD: I'm running sonarqube version 6.7.1 and MSBuild

The second command you execute should be just msbuild.exe , not SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe .

Edit:

The problem, is indeed that I have to execute MSBuild.exe instead of the other one but if you can't execute that, it may be because you don't haven't configured your environment varables, and path. If you can't execute it simply look for your MSBuild folder in Program Files (x86), in the end you should execute this:

'C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe' /t:Rebuild

so this should be it.
