Try the following:

1. Depending on your Visual Studio edition navigate to:
   • VS 2010:
     %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\FxCop
   • VS 2012:
     %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\FxCop
2. Open FxCopCmd.exe.config and change AssemblyReferenceResolveMode from StrongName to StrongNameIgnoringVersion.
3. Save the change and rebuild your project.
