Can we perform the Code Analysis using FxCopCmd for a directory(Collection of .exe and .dll) instead of for a particular file(.exe or .dll)

I am facing a problem with analyzing the code using FxCopCmd. It works perfectly when i check for a sing file but it doesn't work when I replace it with a directory. May be i am not using the correct Command.

fxcopcmd.exe /file:"C:\Users\ConsoleApplication18.exe" /out:"C:\Users\212553210\Documents\srifxcop.xml"

The above command works perfectly. but instead of a file, I mention a directory like

fxcopcmd.exe /file:"C:\Users" /out:"C:\Users\212553210\Documents\srifxcop.xml"

Now it gives an error saying "Analysis was not performed". If any body can help me out in this issue will be very thankful.

There's an example [here](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429449(v=vs.80).aspx) using `*.*` as a wildcard for assemblies - does that work? Or are you trying to do a whole subtree recursively? Are you sure it supports that? – Rup Jun 06 '16 at 10:27
I added slash even at the end too. but its not working – Srikanth Mudale Jun 06 '16 at 13:33
@Rup that is not working... – Srikanth Mudale Jun 06 '16 at 13:34
A different approach: Create a batch file which will read the folder and get all the file names. loop them and call FxCop each iteration. – Anuja Lamahewa Apr 06 '17 at 10:26
