Skype 3.2.0.82 runs the install everytime I start it. It looks for Skype.msi in my temp folder and cannot find it. When I cancel from this window and then cancel from the install program, Skype starts normally.
The command in the Quick Start icon properties is "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe"

I reinstalled once, but that did not change anything.

Replying to myself, sorry.

I redownloaded the SkypeBeta setup file, ran it and now the problem seems to be gone. Let's see if it is still the case after a reboot.

Please report back here if you run into trouble again.

The same problem is back. Starting Skype relaunches the install.

Do not just install "over" the old version
quite often some files are not updated correctly and get corrupt.
One of the most common issues.

So first try this

delete config.xml

(You need to quit SKYPE first):any changes manually edited in this config.xml will be lost

To find Config .xml copy and paste the section in bold:
%AppData%\Skype into the address bar of Windows Explorer or IE and it will display all the files in that folder regardless of whether they’re hidden or not, you will see a folder with the same name as your Skype username, double click this folder to open it and you will see the comfig.xml file which you have to delete.

This config.xml will be rebuilt without any data loss, but hopefully error free, with next start of Skype.
You only must log in newly and Skype will rebuilt a new and correct config.xml
and will download all your contacts.
NOTE if you delete config.xml you MUST remember your password to relogin, and all options are reset to default.

Delete Shared.xml

Now you need to find your Shared.xml file
To find Share.xml copy and paste the section in bold:
%AppData%\Skype in the address bar of Windows Explorer or IE and it will display all the files in that folder regardless of whether they’re hidden or not, you will then see the Share.xml which is what you have to delete.

This Shared.xml file will be rebuilt without any data loss, but hopefully error free when you next start Skype.


If still not successful


Reinstall Skype – clean
