Fix "The project type not supported by this installation" blah blah blah after resetsettings command

Is your visual studio settings are messed up? You can reset your visual studio settings by starting it from visual studio command prompt:

devenv.exe /resetsettings

But often, WCF related stuff doesn't work after above command. When you open the WCF porject in your Visual Studio, you may get this error:
"The project type not supported by this installation" blah blah blah..

If you are the one who has done so, close the Visual Studio and run this command from visual studio command prompt:

devenv /ResetSkipPkgs

It should reset (i.e. remove in our case) the checks that should be skiped in order to open newer WCF project into your relatively older visual studio.
