- which versions are you using (SonarQube, Scanner, Plugin, and any relevant extension):  
I am using SonarScanner for MSBuild 5.3.1 . SonarQube server version : \* Enterprise Edition\* Version 8.9.2 . I am building the application inside Docker container (OS Debian).
- what are you trying to achieve:  
I am running these commands:

mono /tmp/sonar/SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:’’ /n:’’ /d:sonar.host.url=’’ /d:sonar.login=’’ /d:sonar.verbose=true ;

/usr/bin/msbuild -m ./Unity/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*.sln -t: -tv:Current; rm -rf ./sonar-project.properties;

mono /tmp/sonar/SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe end /d:sonar.login=’$’

But I am receiving this error message:

```auto

Hi @tkanzova

Welcome to the community! Apologies for the late reply. Do you still have the problem?

If yes, we’ll need the logs:

- please give us the verbose output of the scanner commands (please run `SonarScanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:“MyProject” /d:sonar.verbose=true` as the begin step, and please attach the output of the `BEGIN` and `END` steps)
- please give the output of running MSBuild in verbose mode (`/v:d`)

Also, please tell us:

- what are the commands you are running to do the analysis?
- are you running all commands from the same folder?
