Hi, Welcome to the community! I’ve moved your post to a new thread because the one you posted in was about 8 months old. Per [the FAQ](https://community.sonarsource.com/faq), we really prefer you to create a new thread rather than adding to an existing one if it’s more than two months old. Why? Because a lot can change in even that short time. On that topic, your scanner has some real age on it (released in 2019). The current version is 6.1. Can you [upgrade](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/latest/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarscanner-for-dotnet/)? We’ve [worked on this topic](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-msbuild/issues/1293), so even if the problem persists, at a minimum you’ll get a better error message.   Ann
