Package Load Failure error with VisulStudio 2008

My Visual Studio 2008 as giving me following error whenever I tried to add web service to my project:


"Package ‘Visual Studio Explorers and Designers Package’ has failed to load properly ( GUID = {8D8529D3-625D-4496-8354-3DAD630ECC1B} ). Please contact package vendor for assistance. Application restart is recommended, due to possible environment corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package in the future? You may use ‘devenv /resetskippkgs’ to re-enable package loading"

I tried running devenv /resetskippkgs but it was still not helpful.

To fix this issue I had to remove the Source Analysis Tool for C# which I had installed couple of months back. Source Analysis is an internal tool that does somewhat FxCop does. While FxCop analyse the IL, Source Analysis analyse the source code itself.
