Why am I encountering errors when I try to use the Visual Studio Analyzer?

I have written a small application in C# using Visual Studio 2010. It is a small "hello world" application and running perfectly fine. But when I try to analyze it using the built-in Visual Studio Analyzer and run the "sample" analysis, it gives the following errors:

Failed to load symbols for C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\clr.dll.
Failed to load symbols for C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\mscoreei.dll.
Failed to load symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\rsaenh.dll.
Failed to load symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll.
Failed to load symbols for C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll.

How can I resolve these errors so that I can use the analyzer on my application? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to enable to your visual studio to download symbols from Microsoft Symbols server.

  1. Click on Tools > Options
  2. Under Debugging Menu > Select Symbols
  3. Check Microsoft Symbol Servers

    Options > Microsoft Symbol Servers

  4. Run the analyzer again and everything should be fine.
