Ive just installed Nunit V3.7.1 and Im trying to actually run my tests. Previously Id used the GUi but this only seems to be avaibale as a 'beta' version. Ive installed the 0.4 preview version and pointed it to my c# test project (.net 4.5) and the run state is set as 'NotRunnable' - _SKIPREASON = File type is not supported. How can I run my tests using nunit v3.7.1 ? I dont want to run (& debug) all my tests everytime, only selected tets (this was easy with mstest). Should I switch back to the previous version of Nunit ?

The NUnit project offers a so-called Test Adapter. It's a Visual Studio plugin for full integration of the test suite (of the former GUI which you already know) into the IDE.
You can find it on the website of NUnit -> Downloads http://nunit.org/download/, NUnit Test Adapter x.x -> https://github.com/nunit/nunit3-vs-adapter/releases/download/3.8/NUnit3TestAdapter-3.8.0.vsix.
After installing it, you can run all/specific/failed NUnit tests directly out of Visual Studio (see top navigation with lable "Test").
The plugin also works in the 2015 Community Edition.

Thanks for the advice, Ive decided to use XUnit instead, it comes with a test explorer, I got it up and running in a few minutes, which wasnt the case with Nunit :-(

Well, you actually asked for an explanation of how to run existing NUnit tests. As I stated there is a solution which also provides seemless integration into the IDE, so you can use the test explorer of visual studio. From my point I gave an answer to your particular question. Additionally, why should you use a dedicated GUI? With the VSIX-plugin you can seemlessly run and debug your test cases like you can with MSTest. I honestly advice you to try the solution I gave you.
