VS2010 Custom Code Analysis Rule

Question

I'm trying to write a custom fxcop rule for mstest projects VS2010. I'd like to debug it but keep getting an exception when it tries to load the dll for the mstest project it fails stating that it can't find referenced assembly:

  
   Microsoft.FxCop.Common.AssemblyLoadException
   Could not load C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\20100106-CodeAnalysisRulesBlogDemo\BlogDemo\TestProject1\bin\Debug\TestProject1.dll.
   Microsoft.FxCop.Sdk.InvalidMetadataException
   The following error was encountered while reading module 'TestProject1': Assembly reference cannot be resolved: Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a.

Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? If I just run the code analysis it works fine but as soon as I try to debug it fails.

Thanks

You can use the /d option to specify additional directories to search during assembly resolving.

Code Analysis doesn't automatically fetch assemblies from the project settings, unless you've all set them to Copy-local.
