Unable to find and install Analysis Bootstrapper plugin in SonarQube

Question

I am trying to enable to FXcop rules in sonar and analyze the code . But I am getting the below error in

ERROR: Caused by: The property "sonar.cs.fxcop.assembly" must be set and the pro ject must have been built to execute FxCop rules. This property can be automatic ally set by the Analysis Bootstrapper for Visual Studio Projects plugin, see: http://docs.codehaus.org/x/TAA1Dg. If you wish to skip the analysis of not built pr ojects, set the property "sonar.visualstudio.skipIfNotBuilt".

Console log states that this property will be automatically set by Analysis Bootstrapper for Visual Studio plugin . But I am unable to find and install this plugin in sonar.

I also tried setting up the below properties in sonar . But still getting the same error

sonar.cs.fxcop.fxCopCmdPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Fxcop 10.0\FxCopCmd.exe
sonar.fxcop.installDirector=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Fxcop 10.0

Why the Analysis Bootstrapper plugin is not coming in the sonar plugins area?

This error also occurs if you are launching your commands from a prompt which is not a "Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2013 or higher" (http://docs.sonarqube.org/display/SONAR/Analyzing+with+SonarQube+Scanner+for+MSBuild).
