TeamCity and FXCop version 10

Question

We are trying to get our TeamCity 5.1 installation to use our FXCop project file. It apparently does not like the newest version, V10:

[08:26:33]: Failed loading FxCop project.
[08:26:33]: Error text: This project file is version 10.0 but the current application version is 1.36. Please download a more recent version of FxCop to open this file..
[08:26:33]: Process exited with code 1

Is there a way to upgrade the version that TeamCity uses or do I need to downgrade the version we are using on our workstations?

Does anyone know if TeamCity 6 will support FXCop 10?

Answer 1

You should be able to change the FxCop installation root on the FxCop Build Runner tab. You'll want to install FxCop 10 on the build server/agents first, or put it under source control and use a VCS root (beyond the scope of this question).

Answer 2

TrueWill had the right answer. I wanted to add that I had to do the following to get it working:

1. Install FXCop 10 (You can get it from the 7.1 Windows SDK)

2. Update buildagent.properties to include:

   system.FxCopRoot=C:\Program Files\ (x86)\Microsoft\ Fxcop\ 10.0

   system.FxCopCmdFileVersion=10.0.30319.1

   system.WindowsSDK7.1

3. Restart build agent.1.
