What’s the status of CAT.NET?

I’m trying to find Microsoft CAT.NET for VS2010 and it looks like there was a beta of their 2.0 version but every link to it in Microsoft Connect is now dead. This is the most recent reference I could find: http://blogs.msdn.com/securitytools/archive/2010/02/05/how-to-use-cat-net-2-0-beta.aspx

Some references suggest it may have been rolled into FxCop. Does anyone know the status of the project?

Here us the Forum - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-AU/catnet/threads

Here is where they make comments on Dev and QA - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytools/

Here is where you download it - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=e0052bba-2d50-4214-b65b-37e5ef44f146&displaylang=en

That is the 64 bit version. I found it ran without throwing a 'Out of memory Exception' that i got from the 32 bit version, but only comes in cmd line form

The 32 bit version snaps into VS2008 but hasn't been made ready for integration into VS2010

Note: I've been trying to get the 2.0 Beta today and haven't had an luck, as you said the links are all broken and the email address for the team is bouncing.

Thanks Jiminy, I hit the same brick walls as you in terms of trying to locate 2.0. As per the original question, I'm after VS2010 compatibility so 1.0 won't cut it. I've left the same question on the MSDN forum here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-AU/catnet/thread/31663b6d-254e-48ce-8345-3355cb8b6023

Any news on this? The MSDN forums don't have any updates

It seems that the best option is to use the v1.x version (the 32bit is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0178E2EF-9DA8-445E-9348-C93F24CC9F9D&displaylang=en)
