VS2015: warning MSB3884: Could not find rule set file

Question

After upgrading my WinForms VS2013 project to VS2015, I started seeing the MSB3884 \"Could not find rule set file\" warning.

Answer 1

I've just had the same problem after upgrading from VS2013 to VS2015.

My solution was:

1. On the project properties go to the Code Analysis section.
2. Select the Browse option on the list of rule sets.
3. Browse to the VS2015 rule sets folder. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Team Tools\Static Analysis Tools\Rule Sets
4. Pick a rule set. The default used by new projects is: MinimumRecommendedRules.ruleset
5. Rebuild. Check the warning has gone.
