FxCop 1.36 Released!

Question

We've released FxCop 1.36. See the following for more information:

http://blogs.msdn.com/fxcop/archive/2008/08/19/fxcop-1-36-released.aspx 

Answer 1

I installed this last year (v9.0.30729.1), but for the past few weeks FxCop has been telling me that there's an update available. The "update" is the same version; when I download and run the installer, I only get the option to repair or uninstall.

Why is FxCop telling me there's an update when there isn't?

Answer 2

I'm having this same issue.. I have even uninstalled and re-installed, but for the past month it continues to say a new version is available.

Answer 3

Using Fiddler, I can see that the updateinfo.xml file is reporting the latest version as 9.0.30729.17; the download link is still for v9.0.30729.1, which I already have.

Answer 4

Is FxCop still being maintained? This particular issue has been happening for awhile. Also, the guidelines don't appear to be correct for WPF applications.

Answer 5

Have you stopped providing FXCop 1.36 as an external tool?  All the download links I can find are dead. 

Answer 6

You need to get the latest version as per this it seems - FxCop 10 . v1.36 may no longer be accessible.

Answer 7

The FxCop 10 download page does not list Windows XP as supported OS for FxCop 10 at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=917023f6-d5b7-41bb-bbc0-411a7d66cf3c

If you need FxCop 1.36 or have to use it because you're still stuck on XP, it comes with the WinSDK 7.0 (Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .Net Framework 3.5 SP1) at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c17ba869-9671-4330-a63e-1fd44e0e2505&displaylang=en

Answer 8

There's an inconsistency there because if you look at the link for SDK 7.1 you see that XP SP3 is supported.
