Fortify SCA CommandLine Invocation Failed

Hi the following exception when trying to scan my Solution using Fority..

enter image description here

I have ildasm in Windows/System32 folder which is the default place. And I am able to open the ildasm.exe from the command prompt. Please let me know, wat I am missing.

I am using Visual Studio 2012, with fortify 4.0 of 64bit.

Thanks in Advance

Solution

  • Not being able to locate the ildasm.exe tool can be solved as suggested by greencrizz but can also be specified on the command line if needed with: -Dcom.fortify.sca.IldasmPath=C:\path\to\ildasm.exe

    The "No rules files found" means exactly that, there the rules have not been downloaded. These can either be downloaded with fortifyupdate from the command line, within options of an IDE plugin/AWB or manually via the Fortify Support Portal. Also note if you have access to the Fortify Support Portal, there is a Knowledge Base section which includes solutions to problems such as this.
