Hi all,

can anyone help me? I'm trying to use FxCop task. I've specified path to \*.fxcop project in the "Project File" field on the Tagets tab. I could not find where to specify the path to FxCop tool. So, I tried to start the task after that I recieved the message: "FxCop Options: FxCopCmd.exe not found."

What should I do to fix the problem?

thank you

I’m sorry, I found the answer by myself. For the other novices who will have the same problem: there are common Finalbuilder options available from Tools-\>Options… menu item.There you should specify path to tools that you are going to use in actions. In my case - FxCop tool path should be defined in the “.NET Tools” options group.

Hi Natalia,   
  
I'm glad you got it sorted out. Normally we try to make these error messages as self-explanatory as possible, the FxCop one was pretty terse. The next release will have a more informative error message.
