Error while running SonarQube - No ProjectInfo.xml files were found - msbuild

Question

I am using SonarQube 5.2 for calculating the metrics.
Everything works fine, when I run it using "Developer Command Prompt for VS2013".
But when I run the same commands using normal command prompt "cmd.exe" with or without administrator rights, I am getting the following error
C:\Windows\system32>"C:\sonarqube-5.2\bin\MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe" end

Please let me know what could be isssue and how to resolve it.
The following steps are followed by me,
Executed all the commands from one location example - "D:\Test"
Added the following in the PATH environment variable
a. path to MSBUILD's 12.0 folder
The commands executed for analysis of metrics,
a. MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin
b. MSBuild abc.csproj /t:Clean;Rebuild /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0...;
c. MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end

Answer 1

I got the solution.
I should use the full path to MSBuild instead of putting it in the PATH variable, which causes this issue for SonarQube Analysis.
-->
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe begin
"%programfiles(x86)%\msbuild\12.0\bin\MSBuild.exe" abc.csproj /t:Clean;Rebuild /p:VisualStudioVersion=12.0...;
MSBuild.SonarQube.Runner.exe end
<--
I think, any command that requires Developer Command Prompt, should also work in the normal command prompt, provided the path to MSBUILD should be in full.

This worked well. :)
Use the below lines code one by one after each exection is completed:
SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"ProjectKeyName" /n:"ProjectName" /v:"1.0"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" /t:Rebuild
SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe end
Note:
Please replace the ProjectKeyname and projectName with yours (As per sonar-project.properties file created under your Project Root Folder)
Version used:
sonarqube-5.6.6 (tested in sonarqube-6.4 as well),
