Hello,
Is it possible to trigger the start of an outside application from within Skype?
The other way around is quite easy.
I need to get Skype to start my application (c#) when Skype goes online.
I could get my app to start when windows start by adding a trigger in the reg. But I feel this is the wrong why about it as my application is closely connected to Skype and should only start if the user is using Skype and online.
The application is written in C# and communication with Skype is done through Skype4Com.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards Fredrik

The right way to do this is with Publishing Studio (the tool used to test/publish Skype Extras). PS can generate an installation package that integrates your app within Skype Extras Manager, including lauch at Skype startup, linking to menus, etc.
This requires you to 1st install the Publishing Studio package (http://skype.4publishers.com/update.asp) and create yourself a publisher account (note: you don't actually need a working paypal account to do this until you start selling your stuff).
After that, set up a PS project with your app, set "Load On Startup" checkbox on "Skype Plugin Settings" tab, then Build, then Test.
NB! If you just want to use your app locally, just use Test button for local install. The Publish button actually sends the package to our Extras Galler reception area.
Some docs on PS, extras and related stuff are up on DevZone - https://developer.skype.com/Docs/Extras
We are currently in process of redesigning those docs so be patient with the somewhat anrachic structure of the current version

Looking very good

I have set the "License policies" to "Skype user" => "Free".
But when I run the test it still asks me to purchase a valid license.
Which was fixed, I think, by synchronizing with the server.

The Buy Now problem has been reported in Jira also - https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/PIF-673
If you are still testing, then make sure that you Synchronize with server before you hit Test. This should fix this issue. Read that Jira case for more info.
