SonarQube: errors in analysing C# and VB projects - sonarqube-msbuild-runner

Question

I am trying to follow the instructions here to try SonarQube for MSBuild:
http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild, but I got the following errors for C# and VB samples. I can't find any message in the sonar.log so don't know how to proceed.

Answer 1

Your C# project isn't being analysed because of the WARNING: Duplicate project GUID.... Check that your project guids are unique. You will also get this error if you run the begin step then call MSBuild multiple times for the same project before calling end. Try running begin, MSBuild .... end to see if that fixes the C# project issue. For the VB issue, please include more of the call stack from the Java error.
