I'm using SonarQube 7.0 and SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild 4.0.2.892 and attempting to follow these instructions to scan my .NET application on Windows (ASP.NET Core). The three commands below are part of the instructions:
C:\SonarQube\Scanner\SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe begin /k:"org.sonarqube:sonarqube-scanner-msbuild" /n:"TradingPlatform" /v:"1.0"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" /t:Rebuild
C:\SonarQube\Scanner\SonarQube.Scanner.MSBuild.exe end
However, while pre-processing succeeds on the fist command, and the build completes on the second command, the third command always fails as shown below:
====
SonarQube Scanner for MSBuild 4.0.2 Default properties file was found at C:\SonarQube\Scanner\SonarQube.Analysis.xml
Loading analysis properties from C:\SonarQube\Scanner\SonarQube.Analysis.xml
Post-processing started.
The SonarQube MSBuild integration failed: SonarQube was unable to collect the required information about your projects.
Possible causes:
- The project has not been built - the project must be built in between the begin and end steps
- An unsupported version of MSBuild has been used to build the project. Currently MSBuild 14.0 upwards are supported
- The begin, build or end steps have not all been launched from the same folder
Generation of the sonar-properties file failed. Unable to complete SonarQube analysis.
Exit Code 1.

Does anyone have any idea why it's failing? Cause 1 can't be the case as I'm building the project in step 2. Cause 2 seems very unlikely (but not impossible) as I'm using MSBuild 15. Cause 3 also can't be the case as I'm running all three commands from the same location
