About: This is the business version of Skype MSI so by default it has no junk!

Tweaked: Shortcut moved out of sub folder into All Programs, Run on Windows startup removed, Run after standard GUI install removed

@Ricardo

Skype 6.0.0.126 is released

Salio la versión 6.0.60.126

Creo que estas equivocado

Estaba buscando un programa y lo encontre de casualidad http://skype.softonic.com/ (Desconosco si es verdad o no)

No, el numero 32 nunca cambia (indica que es x86)

Guys - English thread?

 

Balbis - Release version 6.0.60.126

ricktendo64 - I think you're wrong

Balbis - Was looking for a program and I found it by chance http://skype.softonic.com/ (do not know if it's true or not)

ricktendo64 - No, the number 32 never changes (indicates the x86)

 

Cheers and Regards

Skype 6.1.0.129 is released

<installer>.msi /qn

• @Ricardo

  Skype 6.2.0.106 is released!

Thanks Rick, it's just what I wanted.

 

:cap:

The latest version from Microsoft is 6.2.73.106, which is newer than yours, Rick (just tried your installer). You can get it from this direct link.

Now I see the difference...anyway I don't use that installer I use the business version with no updater and no toolbar

I'm sticking with using the business version (which the 3rd version number is always 32)

Link is not working

Link is working just fine here (unless you are doing some kinda vudu to avoid afly)

@Ricardo

 

Skype 6.3.0.105 is released!
