This file has bugs in these lines:

In these two locations, there is an extra space in $(EnableNETAnalyzers ) before the closing parenthesis, causing MSBuild to not find that property:

So even if I set EnableNETAnalyzers to true in my csproj, it gets overriden to false because this line overrides it:

Once that spaces get removed, the DLLs are not found because their paths are relative to the project, not to the SDK:

Error:

CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file '..\analyzers\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.NetAnalyzers.dll' could not be found [D:\testing\ConsoleCore\ConsoleCore.csproj]
CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file '..\analyzers\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.NetAnalyzers.dll' could not be found [D:\testing\ConsoleCore\ConsoleCore.csproj]

So the fix is to prefix the 3 DLL paths with $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory) like this:

Include="$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)..\analyzers\Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.VisualBasic.NetAnalyzers.dll"

Once fixed, it can find instances of the new Roslyn analyzers.

This bug is present in master and in Preview8.
