Disable StyleCop Rule with VS2012 Express

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2012 Express and therefore don't have access to the integration for the regular version of VS. I have used the MSBuild to integrate StyleCop and the rules show up as Warnings. I want to be able to disable rules. The Disabling StyleCop rules post shows that this is possible but I can't make sense of the answer which suggests to edit the Settings.StyleCop file. However, I don't understand what is required to be added to this file to disable a rule.

If I wanted to disable rule SA1649 for instance how would I update the following file?

<StyleCopSettings Version="4.3">
  <GlobalSettings>
    <CollectionProperty Name="DeprecatedWords">
      <Value>preprocessor,pre-processor</Value>
      <Value>shortlived,short-lived</Value>
    </CollectionProperty>
  </GlobalSettings>
  <Parsers>
    <Parser ParserId="StyleCop.CSharp.CsParser">
      <ParserSettings>
        <CollectionProperty Name="GeneratedFileFilters">
          <Value>\.g\.cs$</Value>
          <Value>\.generated\.cs$</Value>
          <Value>\.g\.i\.cs$</Value>
        </CollectionProperty>
      </ParserSettings>
    </Parser>
  </Parsers>
  <Analyzers>
    <Analyzer AnalyzerId="StyleCop.CSharp.NamingRules">
      <AnalyzerSettings>
        <CollectionProperty Name="Hungarian">
          <Value>as</Value>
          <Value>do</Value>
          <Value>id</Value>
          <Value>if</Value>
          <Value>in</Value>
          <Value>is</Value>
          <Value>my</Value>
          <Value>no</Value>
          <Value>on</Value>
          <Value>to</Value>
          <Value>ui</Value>
        </CollectionProperty>
      </AnalyzerSettings>
    </Analyzer>
  </Analyzers>
</StyleCopSettings>

Note: I am using version 4.7 even though the default settings file shows 4.3

I found the following documentation to edit a stylecop rule in the XML

The XML code snippet is below.

<StyleCopSettings Version="4.3">
  <Analyzers>
    <Analyzer AnalyzerId="Microsoft.StyleCop.CSharp.LayoutRules">
      <Rules>
        <Rule Name="StatementMustNotBeOnSingleLine">
          <RuleSettings>
            <BooleanProperty Name="Enabled">False</BooleanProperty>
          </RuleSettings>
        </Rule>
        <Rule Name="ElementMustNotBeOnSingleLine">
          <RuleSettings>
            <BooleanProperty Name="Enabled">False</BooleanProperty>
          </RuleSettings>
        </Rule>
      </Rules>
      <AnalyzerSettings />
    </Analyzer>
  </Analyzers>
</StyleCopSettings>

In addition, I also found out that you can drag the Settings.Sytlecop file onto the StyleCopSettingsEditor.exe which presents a GUI for enabling and disabling the rules.
