Hello,
I’m trying to run SonarCloud tasks on self-hosted agent (Windows Server 2019) and it just does not work.
The SonarCloudPrepare task is failing with below error:
##[error]There was an error when attempting to execute the process 'C:\Agent2\_work\_tasks\SonarCloudPrepare_14d9cde6-c1da-4d55-aa01-2965cd301255\1.40.2\classic-sonar-scanner-msbuild\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe'. This may indicate the process failed to start. Error: spawn C:\Agent2\_work\_tasks\SonarCloudPrepare_14d9cde6-c1da-4d55-aa01-2965cd301255\1.40.2\classic-sonar-scanner-msbuild\SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe ENOENT

Finishing: SonarCloudPrepare
When I enter SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe directory and try to run the file manually or from the powershell/cmd, it fails with error that exe file cannot be found.
C:\Agent2\_work\_tasks\SonarCloudPrepare_14d9cde6-c1da-4d55-aa01-2965cd301255\1.40.2\classic-sonar-scanner-msbuild>SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe

If I just change the folder name, for example from 1.40.2 to 1.40.21, I can run the SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe without problem but of course Pipeline fails because it expect to find the SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe inside the folder to which task has been downloaded.

SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.14
Using the .NET Framework version of the Scanner for MSBuild
Usage on SonarQube:
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe [begin|end] /key:project_key [/name:project_name] [/version:project_version] [/s:settings_file] [/d:sonar.token=token] [/d:sonar.{property_name}=value]
Usage on SonarCloud:
SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe [begin|end] /key:project_key [/name:project_name] [/version:project_version] [/s:settings_file] [/d:sonar.login=token] [/d:sonar.{property_name}=value]
The agent run on my localadmin profile and it has all the access rights. I don’t understand why I can get it working by changing just the folder name. It does not make any sense.
