Object reference not set error when creating a new Report Project in Visual studio 2008

This is the problem i have faced while working one of my project. I have to do the reporting of that project using SSRS reports, when i try to create a report project in visual studio 2008 i got the error "object refference not set to an instance of an object". So i tried to uninstall and re-install the visual studio but have no luck. And finally the following command solved my issue.

I go to the command prompt and execute this command  "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /ResetSkipPkgs

This command clears all options to skip loading tags added to VSPackages.

I am posting this, so that if someone having similar problem can resolve it quickly.


Following are the steps:
