Nice work Grake.

Shortcut is at default in start menu as I don't like to change those at ALLPROGRAMS\SKYPE\SKYPE.EXE

If I'm not mistaking shortcut is currently placed in Skype subfolder under startmenu?

[Grake]

yes, it's at default.

start /wait msiexec /i Skype\SkypeSetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=1 STARTSKYPE=FALSE ALLUSERS=1 TRANSFORMS=:removeStartup.mst TRANSFORMS=:removeDesktopShortcut.mst /qr

[Raoul90]

start /wait msiexec /i Skype\SkypeSetup.msi INSTALLLEVEL=1 STARTSKYPE=FALSE ALLUSERS=1 TRANSFORMS=:removeStartup.mst TRANSFORMS=:removeDesktopShortcut.mst /qr

Is there also a way for cmdlines?

One note:

Hello, Grake and thanks for your contribution.

There is a new version of Skype out, could you update your installer?

The new version is not available in MSI, yet

The new version is not available in MSI, yet

you need to install skype and then look into your temp folder,

there you will find the skype.msi

[Raoul90]

Here is Skype 4.0.0.206.

Everything is like normal install only this does not include toolbars/desktopshortcut/startupitem

I always make a switchless installer. Anyone can get it at the link in my signature.

The installers is for the main application, without plugins and nothing at startup.

[Guest XhmikosR]

Thanks, Raoul90 and elajua. I prefer elajua's installer, because it doesn't add the right-click "Send To Skype" shortcut.

Thanks a lot.

Hi folks,

I have never downloaded and used Skype! So, you will excuse me for dumb Q's ...

Q1: Is the Skype versions that you guys offer here any different than the Original One!?!?

Q2: If so, why do you modify it?

Q3: Which version of the ones you guys offer here is the Least Intrusive and Dummy Friendly?

Thanks,

G!

Q1: The only thing that is different in my installer is:

Does not include toolbars/desktopshortcut/startupitem.

Q2: Because i dont like toolbars/desktopshortcut/startupitem.

Q3: Both will work just fine.

Hi Raoul,

Thanks for the Reply ... and clarifying things for me.

Actually, I am not too crazy about "Auto Start-Up" of application of this type ... I rather Start it when I need it.

Also, I guess I can always go to the program application .exe and send a "Shortcut" to desktop if I ever need one. Right!?!?

Appreciate the help!

G!
