VS 2015 cannot open .coveragexml generated by CodeCoverage.exe

Question

I am following Code Coverage Results Import (C#, VB.NET) documentation for SonarQube.

For my project, I am able to generate test coverage binary file as "SonarQubeTests.csproj.coverage"

Visual Studio can open this file with no problem. I can see all the details.

Then when I try to generate ".coveragexml" file with following command;

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Team Tools\Dynamic Code Coverage Tools\CodeCoverage.exe" "analyze /output:C:\SonarQubeTests.csproj.coveragexml C:\SonarQubeTests.csproj.coverage"

It does generate ".coveragexml" file, but when I try to open Visual Studio it gives me following error:

I can open this file with text editor and content seems all fine. But neither Visual Studio 2015 nor sonarqube does not read this file.

What I am missing here?

P.S I have also runner settings for Ms Test runner as below. Not sure if this will effect something;

I think you could use vstest.console to get code coverage directly. We do not sure whether VS could open the code coverage that generated by third party tools. I think if we could vstest.console to get the code coverage will has not problems. please try it to see the results.
