Visual Studio 2015: C++ code analysis error C1253, unable to load model file 'res://mspft140.dll/300'

Visual Studio 2015 Community update 3, trying the C++ code analysis feature. The settings are as follows:

• solution properties > code analysis settings > [all configurations] [all platforms] : microsoft native recommended settings
• project properties > code analysis > [all configurations] [all platforms] : microsoft native recommended settings

Whenever I run analyze > run code analysis on solution I would always get a c1xx : fatal error C1253: Unable to load model file 'res://mspft140.dll/300'. This happens to every project, new or existing. MSDN is not particularly helpful about this one.

The string is a res protocol, so I checked if the dll mentioned is at its correct location (there are two actually, at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\ and c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64), and opened them with resedit. Both contain an XML resource named 300, so I don't see any reason for VS being unable to load it. Resetting the settings didn't help, full uninstall and reinstall (half a day wasted) did neither.

I also ran procmon with [Path] [contains] [mspft] filter while running the code analysis in VS, but the file system results are only SUCCESS and FILE LOCKED WITH ONLY READERS, which seems to be ok.

Did anyone experience this error? Does anyone have any surmises about its cause?

Update: After looking thoroughly through many more procmon captures with different filters I found out that cl.exe tries to open this registry key value: HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\res\CLSID. Clearly it looks for the handler of the res protocol mentioned in the error output - and it's not there to be found, while many siblings of res key refer to some valid handlers, for example, http key has CLSID value of {79eac9e2-baf9-11ce-8c82-00aa004ba90b}. I guess that my quest for now is figuring out what that res CLSID is meant to be.

I was right in my assumption about the res protocol handler. The correct HKCR\PROTOCOLS\Handler\res\CLSID value is {3050f3bc-98b5-11cf-bb82-00aa00bdce0b} (which refers to C:\Windows\System32\mshtml.dll). For some reason my registry was missing it; as soon as I added the value, the code analysis started working without errors.

I hope this helps someone, although I believe the bug is extremely rare.
