FxCop installation

fxcopvisual studio 2010winapiwindows 7

I am trying to get latest version of FxCop. I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional edition which does not include code analysis, so I am trying to set it up using FxCop.

At http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6544 there is readme file whic says to install Windows SDK which includes latest FxCop. I've installed Windows SDK from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8442 and it does not include FxCop at all, I have checked both x86 and x64 versions.

Any idea where can I find it? Is FxCop supported by Microsoft any more?

EDIT:
I did full installation of Windows SDK. I am installing x86 version on Windows 7 x86. I have searched in x64 Windows SDK ISO for FxCop only by extracting it into folder.

The only place I found FxCop 10 is in answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/7151981/84852

Since FxCop 10.0 is distributed as part of Windows 7 SDK, you have to do some download and extractions to install it on servers which are not running Windows 7.

You can download the file directly from here: https://fxcopinstaller.codeplex.com/

This project is not created by Microsoft. I made it just for saving you and other people a few steps of extracting the binary from the original package. I did not change anything in the original MSI file provided by Microsoft. I also don't accept any contributor's upload to keep the file genuine.

[UPDATE]

Codeplex is shutting down. New location is www.fxcopinstaller.com.
